About

Pilchuck Audubon Society is a nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting people with native plants and birds in the Puget Sound region. Based in Snohomish County, Washington, the organization promotes bird-friendly communities through native plant landscaping, recognizing that native plants provide essential food sources and habitat for birds while offering numerous environmental and human health benefits. The society offers comprehensive resources for selecting and sourcing native plants, maintains demonstration gardens, and provides education on how native plants support local bird populations and ecosystems. By encouraging residents to replace exotic ornamentals with native species, Pilchuck Audubon helps restore habitat patches that mitigate the effects of climate change and create sustainable, lower-maintenance outdoor spaces for both urban and rural communities.
