YARDSCAPING FOR BIRDS IN APRIL TALK

On Monday, April 22, at Christ Episcopal Church, Heather Evans will speak about Coastal Yardscaping for Bird Lovers. There will be a meet and greet at 4pm, followed by Heather’s talk at 5pm.
 
PAPR 4 CKA PIC icture1Evans will talk about native plants that tolerate occasional salt inundation, like the one many Cedar Key yards experienced in August of last year, as a result of hurricane Idalia. She'll cover why insects are vital to resident backyard bird survival. And, she'll give specific recommendations for plants to support various species of terrestrial birds that migrate to or live year-round in Cedar Key, including both salt tolerant and quick-to-recover native species.
