Wednesday, October 6th at 7:00 PM - on Zoom Plants for Birds and Pollinators Presented by Matt Valencic, long time birder and educator in Geauga County and Greater Cleveland |
Why do birds and pollinators need our help?
How do native plants figure into the lives of birds and insects?
Matt will share with us many of the native plants, woody and herbaceous, that we can use in our landscapes in Northeast Ohio - and show us some of the birds these plants attract.
At the end of this presentation, you will want to get out and plant something new in your yard or on your property!
