Join Michigan Audubon and Saving Birds Thru Habitat’s Kay Charter for an all-day workshop focused on the critical relationship between birds and native plants. In this workshop, participants will learn why birds need native plants, which native plants are “powerhouses” for birds, and how you can turn your backyard into a natural bird feeder. This workshop will feature an indoor educational session in the morning followed by an outdoor field trip in the afternoon to visit good examples of bird-friendly landscaping. This workshop includes a trip to Wildtype in Mason, where owner Bill Schneider will tour us around this unique native plant nursery and participants will have the opportunity to shop and explore during one of the few days this great resource is open to the public. Participants will take home a resource bag packed with helpful tips and a native shrub to kick start a backyard habitat transformation. Lunch is provided. Please dress appropriately for the outdoors as this event will take place rain or shine. Binoculars are highly encouraged!
