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. It is an example of what our environment must have been like when it supported a vast ecosystem in the St. Croix Valley. As we help to create more backyard native gardens like this, we are trying to create a patchwork of interconnected habitats that will contribute enormously to the survival of individual birds and pollinators. Yes, we all love birds and can be a part of the solution.
