The Decline of Bird Populations — and How Planting Trees from TN Nursery Can Help
In the last few decades, scientists have observed that the bird population is declining all around the world. This is a major problem for our ecosystem that has been brought on by an increase in pesticides and climate change, among other factors. Fortunately, there are things you can do to be a part of the solution. TN Nursery has a great selection of bird-friendly trees that encourage them to thrive. By choosing these trees for your garden, you're not only making your landscape more aesthetically pleasing, but you're helping improve the environment for birds for years to come.
Here Are Trees from TN Nursery You Can Plant:
-
Sycamore Trees (Acer pseudoplatanus) – This is a great tree to plant because of its giant size and ability to give nesting space for songbirds.
-
Red Maple Trees (Acer rubrum) – This is a great choice because not only does it provide nectar for pollinators that birds eat, but the seeds of these trees can be enjoyed by many seed-eating bird species.
-
Black Walnut Trees (Juglans nigra) – Woodpeckers love to feast on these trees because of their oily nuts, and birds can also enjoy that the canopy assists with nesting and shelter.
-
Dogwood Trees (Cornus florida) – This is a critical food source for migrating birds! Planting more of these would make a tremendous difference to the ecosystem.
-
Oak Trees (Quercus species) – These are very crucial trees for wildlife as they harvest thousands of caterpillars in the spring, which is what baby birds use to feast on to increase their size and strength.
Although the bird population has been steadily decreasing, there is action you and your loved ones can take to make a difference. Each tree you plant will make a positive change, as it will contribute to creating a space for insects to dwell that birds can eat, producing fruits and nuts for birds to feast on, and space for them to nest and thrive. TN Nursery is delighted to play a role in the sustainability for birds of generations to come.
