Habitat & Conservation

Birds need habitat, and habitat starts close to home. Here's how you can take part, from a single front yard to a full conservation grant.

Lawns to Habitat Grant

CVAS gives grants each year to residents who wish to create natural habitats in their own yards. 

Welcome to My Yard

Not ready for a full yard conversion? This small-scale program makes it easy to start. Get a plant credit, soil guidance, and a "Welcoming Birds to My Yard!" yard sign, all without the bigger commitment of the Lawns to Habitat program. 

Bird-friendly Garden Tour

We sponsor an annual tour of local native gardens to inspire people to plant native plants.
