Habitat restoration

Ruby-throated Humingbird by Christy Cox

"A City in a forest"

With the Chattahoochee River, Kennesaw Mountain, and many other parks and natural areas, Atlanta has many natural wonders that attract a myriad of birds to our urban environment. 

Sadly, many of the birds arrive to find habitat destroyed by development, over-run by exotic species, or polluted and depleted by human use.  Georgia Audubon is committed to restoring our urban green spaces and helping create and manage bird-friendly habitats.

Our mission:​
Building Places where birds and people thrive

Habitat restoration projects focus on removing exotic and invasive vegetation, managing ecosystems, and planting native bird-friendly plant species. Our goal is to help create and maintain a functioning native ecosystem that benefits all organisms, inlcuding birds, wildlife, and people. Our projects range from nest box placement, invasive plant removal, native plant installation, and bird banding to nest monitoring, and educational displays.

Education

Create a diverse group of environmental stewards in Georgia through science-based, bird-focused educational programs

Conservation

Improve bird health and habitat in Georgia through innovative , collaborative conservation programs

Community Engagement

Engage and collaborate with communities throughout Georgia to connect people and birds
