Audubon At Home

Provide critical habitat for Arizona’s wildlife in your own backyard

How you can make a difference for native wildlife

Did you know that you can provide critical habitat for Arizona’s wildlife in your own backyard? By planting native flowering plants, trees, and shrubs, you can become part of the growing movement to create pockets of habitat within the city that are essential to the survival of our native birds, butterflies, bees, and more!

Visit the Nina Mason Pulliam Rio Salado Center

Come down to the Nina Mason Pulliam Rio Salado Center and take a walk through our demonstration Pollinator Garden to get a first-hand look at how to landscape for wildlife!

Help us expand the garden beyond our gates and into the transition area between the Audubon Center and the Rio Salado Habitat Restoration Area on the third Saturday of each month!

Not only will you be helping native wildlife, but you will be providing an incredible resource that the South Phoenix community will enjoy for generations to come! In addition, you will be gaining the skills and knowledge you need to expand this effort to your own yard!

Please contact Cathy Wise via email for additional information about these volunteer opportunities.
