Class Description:

THIS CLASS WILL BE ONLINE. YOU WILL BE SENT A LINK THE DAY BEFORE THE CLASS.

Turn your yard into a natural resort for feathered friends! It’s easy to create an inviting environment for birds ( and other delightful creatures) using an exciting array of native and desert adapted plants. A carefully planned combination of plants will provide food, shelter, and nesting opportunities for year-round activity.

You will:

  • Consider features of your yard (site evaluation) and types of birds you want to (or are able to) attract
  • Know what food to provide for birds (types/categories of food)
  • Select the best ways to provide water for birds (options)
  • Choose appropriate shelter for birds (for safety/protection, for roosting, for nesting)
  • Provide plant materials
  • Apply crop rotation methods
