Create a Backyard Wildlife Habitat
Attracting Birds, Butterflies & Backyard Wildlife
Fri, Feb 10 at 11:00 am / Hood Room
One of the joys of gardening is creating a beautiful, natural space that you, your family and the local birds, butterflies and other backyard wildlife can enjoy. Join author, blogger and celebrity naturalist David Mizejewski from National Wildlife Federation for a fun and informative talk on creating wildlife-friendly gardens. David will go through each of the four components of habitat – food, water, shelter and places to raise young – explaining each and sharing tips, ideas and projects that participants can implement in their own yards. He will also show you how you can have your garden recognized as an official “Certified Wildlife Habitat” by the National Wildlife Federation.
