The Camden Garden Club will host a free public Zoom presentation on Tuesday, February 7, 2023 from 10AM to 11AM on the topic of “Forestry for Maine Birds.”
This program is the second in the Club’s 55th Winter Horticulture Series in partnership with the Camden Public Library.
Sally Stockwell with Maine Audubon and Allyssa Gregory from the Maine Forest Service will provide a presentation on ways to steward your woodland and provide habitat for birds and other wildlife. They will discuss ways to enhance habitat for a diversity of birds, fish, and other wildlife that live in or visit your forests, and provide information on where to find additional resources, and who to contact for professional guidance.
