Habitat Gardening: Bring Birds, Bees & Butterflies to Your Yard
About the Event
Program: A habitat is a place where wildlife such as insects, herps, birds, and even mammals can find food, water and shelter. But wild habitats are decreasing at an alarming rate, having a serious negative effect on wildlife populations everywhere. Learn how you can help reverse this trend by using plants, feeders, water and other features to provide havens for wildlife in your garden.
Speaker: Bob Mauceli has been a Master Gardener for almost 22 years – 13 in Marin and 9 in Monroe County NY. He is a co-founder and co-chair of the Marin Master Gardener (MMG) Native Plants Guild, co- chair of the MMG Garden Walks Project and an original member of the MMG Fire-smart Project Team. He is also a member of the California Native Plant Society, Marin Audubon Society, and a long-time birder.
