Gardening for Wildlife: speaker Carol Goodwin

Title:       Gardening for Wildlife

Description:  The talk will focus on habitats that exist in gardens and how to preserve and improve them, as well as the influence of the greater landscape on your efforts. What is wildlife? Why would we want it in our gardens? What role can we play in supporting pollinators in our region? Please join us to find out the answer to these and any other questions you may have.
