Then join Naturalist Tait Johansson as he leads a virtual walk around Bylane Farm to listen for birds. Tait will identify bird calls and/or songs while we show you pictures of what he is hearing. By this time, lots of birds should be back including Baltimore Oriole, Scarlet Tanager, Rose-breasted Grosbeak, and many warblers.

Wouldn’t you dig having beautiful native plants that support wildlife in your yard?
If so, register for Mathew McDowell’s new Workshop: Work with Your Dirt: Easy Garden Perennials to Match Your Habitat. Landscaping works best when we think about matching the “right plant to the right place”, but what does “right place” mean when we focus on planting native species? In this presentation we’ll be discussing how to determine your particular soil conditions. Knowing your soil can help you select native plants that will easily thrive and support local wildlife. Matt will provide examples for attractive garden perennials to match different soil types that will look great and enhance habitat.
Cost: Free. Registration required by emailing Susan at info@bedfordaudubon.org or calling 914-302-9713. A Zoom link will be emailed to you the day before the workshop.
