2017 The Frances M. Peacock Scholarship for Native Bird Habitat
Megan S. Jones is a PhD candidate at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. Her project is titled “Identifying Gardeners’ Barriers and Motivations to Improve Habitat for Threatened and Endangered Native Birds.” She will interview residents along the Colorado Front Range to understand what factors motivate them to adopt new bird-friendly gardening behaviors, such as planting native plants, and what challenges may be preventing them from doing more. Her research will draw on an innovative model of behavior change and will generate recommendations for how to improve bird-friendly gardening programs across the US.
