Join Ecologist Deborah Perkins from First Light Wildlife Habitats for a presentation on native planting and landscaping practices to promote biodiversity and protect water quality. Deb will also cover how to build bird and pollinator habitats and will present eco-friendly and low maintenance lawn alternatives. 

We ALL live in a watershed and it is important to recognize that the work you do in your yards and gardens can have a positive impact on the entire local ecosystem!

Join us at St Mary’s Nutrition Center for snacks and refreshments and information about sign-ups for community garden plots.

This event is a promotion for AVSWCD’s new program – the Conservation Landscape Certification program-- a free checklist available to help landowners improve their properties for wildlife and pollinator habitat, water and soil quality and overall ecosystem support.  If you’d like to learn more about the program click here.

After the workshop, stick around to ask questions, talk with staff, peruse helpful resources, and grab some free garden goodies!  We’ll have seeds, gardening books, seed kits, garden tools, and an opportunity to win a free rain barrel!  Snacks and refreshments provided. We look forward to seeing you there!

This event is funded by a grant from the Davis Foundation.
