Support early-childhood education center Treehouse Learning and give back for Earth Day! This will be a small volunteer gardening event open to the public. Tasks will include scattering wildflower seeds, creating wildlife habitat, spreading compost for new pollinator gardens, assembling raised garden beds, moving stones, and picking up trash in the neighborhood.
Colorado is home to thousands of pollinating insects and they need habitat in which they can live and thrive. With the loss of so much native habitat that has given way to roads., developments and more, it is up to us to create safe and nurturing environments for them to live in. Growing native flowering plants is a huge step in the right direction but we can do more—and it isn’t very hard. Come learn about these wondrous creatures and how you can transform your space into a haven for all the little, beautiful, creatures.
No yard? No Problem! Everyone has the potential to cultivate and relish a stunning garden, while even the smallest outdoor spaces can become havens for pollinators!! Meet some small-space plant powerhouses, learn about providing pollinator food and shelter in container gardens, and get inspired to make big changes in little areas.
In this presentation we will attempt to describe the wild foods of Colorado’s birds. They have their tried and true “go-to” items and they are champions of opportunism. The true joy of birding is the sense of discovery. Studying what birds eat is fun and full of surprises. It has long been the presenter’s contention that the skills and tools possessed by birders can be applied to more than “what is it?” and “how many are there?” The gaps in published bird life histories are MANY and we can fill them by living up to what the world calls us – “bird watchers”. By carefully observing a bird for just a few minutes beyond identification, we can gather valuable information on habitat, feeding habits and other behaviors. With our phones, point-and-shoots and mega-cameras we can document these things. And all are potentially useful to conservation. Let’s do it.
