SUMMARY: Plants, particularly sunflowers, play a crucial role in providing shelter for nesting birds like Least Tern chicks seeking shade and protection. They help the birds become mobile and face natural predators and sun rays. By engaging volunteers, communities, and children in projects like beach planting, awareness is raised about threats to these birds and the importance of conservation and restoration efforts. Thousands of beach sunflowers were planted in dune areas, grown from seed by Murray's Nursery in Moss Point, with over 60 employers involved in the initiative. The goal is to educate and involve the local community in stewardship and conservation efforts.

Earlier today, Audubon Delta was out on the beach planting native-grown beach sunflowers to help with the bird habitat nesting area.
