This event confers 1 CEU for AOLCPs
Presented by Desirée L. Narango, Conservation Biologist, Vermont Center for EcoStudies
Bird populations are declining at an alarming rate due to habitat loss, climate change, and pesticides. Fortunately, there are simple actions you can take to restore critical bird habitat in your yards and gardens. In this talk, Desirée will share her research on the importance of native plants to food webs, why insects matter for bird conservation, and the practical steps you can take to support bird habitat throughout the year.
