Debut of the Birds Butterflies & Bees Program
July 24, 2009
EcoAddendum, a non-profit organization, has developed the BBB program as an outreach of its mission to return native plants to the landscape by promoting the use of local species in public and private gardens and greenspaces. This program also supports the recovery of natural environment space by creating schoolyard and backyard habitats. The BBB process facilitates the installation of wildlife-friendly native plant installations in public schools and greenspaces that may find themselves strapped for funding by creating an easily used and adaptable microfunding approach.
EcoAddendum designs and installs public and private plantings that are both attractive for humans and beneficial to birds, pollinators, and other wildlife. As we are non-profit, these services are provided at near cost, any revenues going toward the perpetuation of our stated goals. We also give educational programs on how and why to plant native species and promote volunteer participation in their planting and maintenance. We are co-operating with Atlanta Audubon, the U.S. Forest Service, and other organizations in the National Wildlife Federation sponsored Flyway Cities Coalition, a nationwide effort to promote activities beneficial to migratory birds passing through urban areas.
