Donate to help the Kirtland's Warbler build its nest in Michigan

Many of the red and jack pines in Michigan’s Hiawatha National Forest are aging beyond the point where the Kirtland’s Warblers can nest. This rare songbird depends on young pines for habitat. Older trees grow too tall and dense to support it. Without the right habitat, the bird risks returning to the Endangered Species List. 

Your support helps replant a combination of red and jack pines, restoring the bird’s home and keeping the forest thriving for the creatures who live there and nature enthusiasts who love to visit.
