The Mulberry Creek Bird Station is a 6,000-sq-ft bird and pollinator sanctuary on private land on Stillwater’s North Hill along the McKusick Ravine. Built by dedicated volunteers, its purpose is to inspire folks to create bird gardens of their own — to teach students about Minnesota’s precious native plants, insects, and birds — and to inspire with arts and photography programs focused on nature.

Bird City Gardens
Bird City Gardens is the nonprofit behind Mulberry Creek Bird Station. Imagine your backyard with birds, monarch butterflies, and bees, attracted to native flowering plants. We will try to make bird gardening simple for you with links to helpful sites and personal, low-cost, or free services. Students will also be attending classes in the habitat to learn about and enjoy the natural world. Creativity is encouraged with arts and science programs in the natural world. Open to the public by appointment starting in the spring of 2026.
