Free Yard Mapping App. for Homeowners' Support of Native Plants and Birds

Use YardMap to learn about and improve bird habitat at your home. 

Why is it important for your yard to become a refuge for native plants and birds? Because:

75% of threatened and endangered species occur on private lands;

We lose 21 million acres every 10 years to residential landscape— the size of West Virginia and Maryland combined;

1.2 Million Acres of non-native lawns cover the U.S. That's 8 times the size of New Jersey;

Every lawn is a potential habitat for birds and native plants and we need every one to become a friendly place for birds to live. 

YardMap is a citizen science project designed by the Cornell Lab or Ornithology to cultivate a richer understanding of bird habitat for people concerned with their local environments and scientists.
