New Jersey Makers Day – "Backyard Habitat for Birds, Butterflies, Dragonflies, and More” Pat Sutton
Saturday, March 16, 11 a.m.
Celebrate New Jersey Makers Day by learning to make your yard a habitat for birds,
butterflies, dragonflies and more! Pat Sutton will showcase native trees, shrubs, vines,
wildflowers, and even weeds that are most beneficial to birds and other wildlife. From
the perspective of a life-long naturalist intimate with the workings of the natural world,
Sutton will share countless common-sense garden maintenance techniques that will
help property owners avoid common practices that actually harm rather than benefit
wildlife.
In addition to the obvious (bird feeders, bird houses, and bird baths), this program is
packed with the "how’s and why’s" of attracting birds, butterflies and other wildlife to
your backyard, no matter how small or how urban. In rapidly developing regions,
backyards are critical wildlife habitat for nesting, migratory, and wintering birds, as well
as frogs and toads, butterflies, dragonflies, and other beneficial insects. Learn how to
create a wildlife refuge right out your own back door -- a refuge for you and for all
wildlife.
This program is suitable for adults and teens and is funded by a New Jersey Makers Day
MiniGrant from the New Jersey State Library and the PSEG Foundation.
