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.

Meet other nature-loving individuals and help us "stretch a park." We will spend the morning planting native 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 before May 1. We will use this information to plan accordingly and send reminder messages!
