Habitat Here!
Join Wild Ones and Hartley Nature Center for a day of fun and learning as we raise a trowel in honor of native plants. This new event, held at Hartley Nature Center in Duluth, will educate you about the importance of natural habitat, the need for more of it, and how you can help increase the quantity and quality of natural habitat in our neighborhoods. There will be presentations on Butterflies and Insects by well-respected local experts. Tours of our gardens, invasive species identification and control, kids activities, and a chance to purchase native plants will round out the day.
Habitat Here! is Saturday, August 22nd from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Mark your calendars and plan to come for a little while or stay all day!!!
If you would like to learn how to attract more wildlife to your yard, especially birds and butterlies, and minimize mowing and other yard maintenance chores, then this day is for you. Here is the schedule for the day:
Pat Thomas will talk about Butterflies at 11:00 am.
Tim Craig will discuss the connections between Insects and plants at 1:30 PM
Garden Tours will leave on the hour beginning at 9:00 am.
Invasive species I.D. and removal tours will begin on the half hour starting at 9:30 am.
Kids activities, wandering experts from Wild Ones and plant growers and sellers will be available all day.
There is a $5 fee for adults and $2 for kids for any of the orgranized activities. You may come and look around for free.
Cheers!
Carol
