Beautiful Backyard Habitats: Landscaping for Wildlife

Our backyard landscapes provide valuable habitat for a variety of wildlife. You can enhance this home for birds, butterflies and other creatures using native vegetation and water features, while enjoying the benefits of color, cooling and sound. Marilyn Wyzga, co-author of Integrated Landscaping: Following Nature's Lead, and coordinator of the Homes for Wildlife program, will guide you through the process using presentation and hands-on exercises. You'll learn wildlife habitat concepts, inventory techniques and plant selections. Bring a sketch map of your site to begin a plan for your yard.
Price: $49
Date: March 20, 2010, 9 am - 12 noon
