the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:State w:st="on">Pennsylvania</st1:State></st1:place>
state program of the National Audubon Society, is encouraging people to “green”
their land by creating good habitat for birds on their land. The new Audubon
At Home <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Bird Habitat Recognition</span></b> program
invites property owners and others to join a growing community of
earth-conscious land stewards by managing their yards and other lands to
support birds and other wildlife. Participants who register their site on the
initiative’s new website will have an opportunity to be recognized by
Audubon for their conservation efforts. Open space of all kinds - residential,
commercial, schoolyards, and public lands – has the potential to provide food,
shelter and even nesting sites for birds <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%'> Loss of habitat is a primary threat
to both common birds and birds of conservation concern. The Audubon At Home program
provides information and resources for sharing “people space” with
birds - from planting native plants, to conserving water, to eliminating
pesticides, there are many ways to foster vibrant habitats that will both
attract birds and provide a healthy refuge for friends and family. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

Participants will submit information about what they are doing to create bird
habitat; they are also encouraged to monitor their efforts, report their successes
in attracting birds, and “advertise” their stewardship with an
Audubon yard sign. Over time, the information individuals provide will help
Audubon target personal actions on private and public lands for the greatest
conservation impact. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
