Hummingbird Corridor Project

Healthy, protected landscapes are vital to the millions of birds that migrate twice a year. Plants form the foundation of every ecosystem, and pollinators such as hummingbirds are keystone species—supporting biodiversity far beyond their size. Ornithologist Sheri Williamson reminds us: “As migratory birds, (hummingbirds) are part of Earth’s circulatory system, transporting energy and other resources between tropical and temperate ecosystems thousands of miles apart. As pollinators, they shape the landscapes they visit in these travels.” When pollinators thrive, so does the wider web of life that we’re all part of and depend on every day. Creating sanctuary gardens for hummingbirds, plants, and people is a powerful act of ecological and cultural resilience. We envision hundreds of medicinal and flower gardens dotting these migration paths — places where communities can learn regenerative gardening, celebrate pollinators, share herbal medicine, and cultivate healing connections.
