11 Years After the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and a $100 Million Look Ahead

Eleven years ago, the BP Deepwater Horizon explosion killed 11 people and for 87 days oil flowed into the Gulf of Mexico, injuring critical habitat, fish, and wildlife. Even now, wildlife and coastal communities are still feeling the impacts of this disaster across the Gulf.

National Wildlife Federation and our partner HECHO believe all communities deserve a clean energy future, and cooperatives provide one avenue for expanding access to responsible and reliable renewable energy.

We asked the folks at Wild Birds Unlimited, our "Certified Wildlife Habitat Champion" partner helping to promote our Garden for Wildlife movement, for their best tips on attracting hummingbirds and orioles to your yard or garden.
