Learn best practices for creating and sustaining a safe, welcoming, and eco-friendly backyard habitat for your feathered friends.

Since 1970, the bird population of North America has declined by almost 3 billion birds, mostly due to habitat loss.  In this presentation, you will learn best practices for creating and sustaining a safe, welcoming, and eco-friendly backyard habitat for your feathered friends.  Greg Murray, President of the Harford County Maryland Master Gardeners, and Mary Murray, Education Coordinator of the Harford Bird Club, will share the four essentials needed for bird habitat, appropriate native plant varieties, and easy tips and tricks for making your own property a haven for wildlife.  You will leave with a new view of your garden and practical ideas to implement immediately.
