SUMMARY:Mi Bird-Friendly Communities Lunch & Learn Webinar Series: Bird-Friendly Backyard Featuring Native Plants
DESCRIPTION:Native plants are integral to a bird-friendly backyard. Birds depend on native plants for food\, shelter\, and nesting. Some 96% of our landbirds rely on insects to feed their young. Native plants produce four times as much insect biomass as their nonnative counterparts. \nNative gardens don’t have to be “messy” or “wild.” They can be clean\, aesthetically pleasing\, and serve an ecological function for our feathered friends. Planting a native garden in your yard\, no matter the size provides a little patch of Michigan habitat that will support birds\, butterflies\, pollinators\, and other wildlife. \nJoin Carolyn Miller\, Wildflower Association of Michigan president\, to learn more about creating a bird-friendly backyard using native plants. We will cover the basics of a native plant-filled yard through a combination of planting\, removing\, or replacing plants. Learn how to best introduce native plants to your landscape and invite birds\, pollinators\, and other wildlife to your backyard. \nRegistration for the Zoom webinar here. \nWe will also be broadcasting the webinar live through our Facebook page and a recording will be made available following the event. \n\nThis event is a part of our Mi Bird-Friendly Communities Lunch & Learn webinar series. Each webinar takes place on the second Tuesday of each month at 12 p.m. and is free.\nWebinar dates and topics: \nJan. 12 | Mi Bird-Friendly Communities Program Overview \nFeb. 9 | Nest Boxes — Maintenance and Monitoring \nMar. 9 | How To Be a Purple Martin Landlord \nApr. 13 | Bird-Window Collisions \nMay 11 | Bird-Friendly Backyards Featuring Native Plants \nJune 8 | Invasive Species — Identification and Removal Techniques \nJuly 13 | Mi Bird-Friendly Communities Program Overview \nAug. 10 | Chimney Swift Conservation Concerns and Monitoring \nSept. 14 | Lights Out and Global Bird Rescue Week \nOct. 12 | Fall Garden Clean-Up \nNov. 9 | Cats and Birds \nDec. 14 | Mi Bird-Friendly Communities — Year in Review \nYou can view past webinars in the Mi Bird-Friendly Communities Lunch & Learn playlist on Michigan Audubon’s YouTube channel.
