Audubon Society

I came across a video featuring you on the National Audubon Society YouTube page where you explain how your love of birds led to your love of native plants as a way to fill your garden with healthy food options for birds and butterflies.

In March, the center, along with the Defenders of Wildlife, the Burrowing Owl Preservation Society, the Santa Clara Valley Audubon Society, the Urban Bird Foundation, the Central Valley Bird Club and the San Bernardino Valley Audubon Society, filed a petition with the commission seeking endangered or threatened status for burrowing owl populations.

It helps that this forest is protected as part of the Kern River Preserve, which is managed by the National Audubon Society, and that some nearby farmlands have been retired and converted to conservation lands over the years.

Others, like those at the National Audubon Society, praised the decision.

The Audubon Society’s Instagram page often features burrowing owls where they are liked by thousands of viewers.
