We just earned our certification from the Portland Audubon Society for the Backyard Wildlife Habitat program. We have at least 5 percent of our property planted with Oregon native plants, as well as food, habitat and shelter for birds.

It's a great program and even comes with a site visit to give us some tips on how to improve bird habitat in our yard, and also discounts on native plants. http://audubonportland.org/backyardwildlife/backyardhabitat
