Wild About Jersey-Friendly Yards: Plant This, Not That
August 18, 2020 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Join us for our new 2020 Jersey-Friendly Yards Webinar Series and learn how to create healthy habitat for wildlife in your yard.
The Jersey-Friendly Yards website is designed to guide you through the steps to a healthier, more wildlife-friendly yard. Loss of natural habitat throughout the world has led to serious declines in populations of pollinators, birds, and other wildlife. By gardening for wildlife in our yards, we can help reverse this trend. As Dr. Doug Tallamy, author of Bringing Nature Home and Nature’s Best Hope says, “Garden as if life depended on it.”
