The Mulberry Creek Bird Station is a 6,000-sq-ft bird and pollinator sanctuary being created on private land on Stillwater’s North Hill along the McKusick Ravine. Built by dedicated volunteers, its purpose is to inspire residents to install their own bird gardens and to teach students about Minnesota’s precious native plants, insects, and birds.

Bird City Gardens

Bird City Gardens, created in 2024, is the nonprofit behind Mulberry Creek Bird Station. Imagine backyards with birds, monarch butterflies, and bees, attracted to native flowering plants, and how delightful that would be. We plan to make it simple by providing the know-how for gardeners to start. Students will also be attending classes in the habitat to learn about and enjoy the natural world.
