Creating Hummingbird-friendly Parks

Plant native flowers like bee balm and salvia to attract hummingbirds. Provide water sources like birdbaths. Avoid pesticides that can harm these tiny birds.

Choose trees and shrubs that offer shelter and nesting sites. Create diverse plantings to provide a variety of food sources for hummingbirds.

Install hummingbird feeders filled with a simple sugar-water solution. Keep the feeders clean and change the nectar regularly to prevent mold growth.

Avoid using insecticides in the park as they can harm the insects that hummingbirds feed on. Encourage natural pest control methods like beneficial insects.

Educate park visitors about the importance of creating hummingbird-friendly habitats. Host workshops and events to raise awareness and promote conservation efforts.

Monitor hummingbird activity in the park through citizen science programs. Keep track of species observed and their behaviors to improve habitat management.
