Welcome to Northwest Nevada Bird Alliance's resource hub! This page is focused on helping people in northern Nevada support birds through native planting, bird-friendly gardening, and local conservation links. It also points to related organizations and practical guides for making yards and landscapes better for wildlife.
​
Our resources emphasize native plants for birds and share guidance on choosing, buying, and using plants suited to northern Nevada’s climate. They also collect bird-friendly gardening advice and related references from Audubon, the U.S. Forest Service, and the UNR Cooperative Extension.
