The greatest cause of decline in bird populations is habitat loss, and an urbanized (and urbanizing) area like northern Virginia is a contributor. But there are steps we can take to help reverse that trend. That is the goal of NVBA’s Stretch Our Parks program.

Come help us "stretch a park." We will remove invasive plants and plant new native trees, shrubs and flowers in a backyard adjoining bird haven Monticello Park in a layout partially designed by NVBA's Wildlife Sanctuary team.  Hard-soled shoes and long sleeve shirts are recommended.  Equipment, gloves, refreshments, and snacks will be provided.  

Let us know you’re joining us by filling out this form: Stretch Our Parks 10/25 Volunteer Intake Form
