Birding is one of the most popular pastimes in North America. Many people feed birds so they can get close-up views of their gorgeous colors and fun antics. But the cost of special seed and feeders adds up quickly! It s estimated that 60 million people spend close to a billion dollars annually on seed and associated products. There is a better and cheaper way to attract birds! Attract a variety of birds to your yard by planting suitable trees and shrubs. It s beneficial for you and the birds! Research from Texas A&M University shows that being in more natural settings helps lower stress. With 80% of Ohioans living in urban settings, maintaining a balance with nature is an easy, economical way to maintain emotional well-being. Nurturing a native ecosystem in your yard also helps birds. Like people, birds need food, water, and shelter to survive. Planting trees of different types, sizes, and forms encourages bird diversity. Try to include main forest layers, Top, Mid and Lower tiers, in your yard. Our Montgomery Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) Tree & Plant sale offers trees in all these categories to help you provide for your favorite new neighbors! Top Tier trees include tall-growing species like oak, hickory and maple as well as pine, spruce and cedar.

The Local Agricultural Easement Purchase Program (LAEPP) provides funding to farmland owners for placing an agricultural easement on their property. The easement is a voluntary and legally binding restriction placed on a farm. This means the easement will forever protect your farmland from development.
