« back to classes page
Loss of habitat and food sources are a major driver in the declining of bird and beneficial insect populations. Even in today’s densely populated urban environment we can still make a difference by restoring and creating habitat in both public and private spaces. This seminar will emphasize how this restoration can be achieved, whether on one’s own property or in public spaces. Additionally, it will cover how this can be accomplished by using native plants suitable to each particular area as well as practices that enhance the habitat value of the area. Resources will be provided for researching plants and the fauna they support, planting tips, maintenance tips, and next steps. This will include local retailers of native plants, contractors, and even how to advocate for habitat-sustaining landscape in public projects. The seminar will conclude with a brief field trip to the adjoining Legacy Park restoration area for examples of restoration practices.
