Habitat loss is by far the leading source of human-caused bird mortality. The problem is so huge in its scope and scale that creating positive change through individual action can seem frustratingly futile. But our individual efforts to create and enhance habitat in the spaces we control can be incredibly effective. 

Habitat at Home was founded on the basis and realization that urban landscapes are key in the ecological restoration of degraded and fragmented natural areas and that if we deem these urban, human-dominated landscapes as not suitable in supporting wildlife, we will lose an unforgivable amount of biodiversity. In defense of urban habitat’s importance and its potential to provide beneficial habitat for birds, pollinators and other wildlife, Habitat at Home enables homeowners to be stewards of their land; those who are willing to reconcile their needs with the needs of wildlife. 

Our Mission:

To create and enhance bird, pollinator, and wildlife habitat in urban landscapes through education, individual and community participation, recognition, and restoration.

MORE NUANCED PROGRAM GUIDELINES
We’ve revised our general guidelines to be both more focused and inclusive. Our concepts are based on the fundamentals of Reconciliation Ecology, helping everyone to invent, establish, and maintain new habitats in our urban spaces.
