Top 5 Ways to Help Waterbirds and Support Water N’ Webs’ Mission
Small Actions

You can make a meaningful difference for wildlife every day with simple, mindful choices. Properly dispose of litter—especially fishing line and plastic—to protect animals from injury or death. Reduce pollution by using reusable bags and bottles, and conserve water by turning off taps when not in use. Support local wildlife by planting native plants, setting up bird feeders, and creating safe spaces in your yard. Each small action adds up, helping to build a cleaner, safer world where wildlife can thrive and nature can flourish.
Top 5 Ways to Help Waterbirds and Support Water N’ Webs’ Mission
1. Properly Dispose of Litter and Fishing Line
HOW IT HELPS: Fishing line, hooks, and plastic waste are major threats to waterbirds, causing entanglement, injuries, or starvation. By picking up litter and ensuring proper disposal, you reduce these hazards and protect birds from preventable harm.
2. Plant Native Vegetation
HOW IT HELPS: Native plants provide food, shelter, and safe nesting spaces for waterbirds and other wildlife, while also improving local water quality by reducing runoff.
3. Keep Cats Indoors or Supervised
HOW IT HELPS: Outdoor cats are one of the leading causes of injury and death for birds, including waterbirds and their young. Keeping cats indoors or closely supervised outdoors helps protect vulnerable wildlife.
4. Reduce Plastic Use
HOW IT HELPS: Plastic pollution can be ingested by waterbirds or entangle them, often leading to injury or death. Reducing single-use plastics, like bags and bottles, minimizes pollution in waterways.
5. Participate in Local Clean-Up Efforts
HOW IT HELPS: Cleaning up ponds, lakes, and waterways removes harmful debris that threatens waterbirds and other wildlife, ensuring a safer environment.
