Audubon at Home

The following description is taken from an announcement distributed by National Audubon Society. Additional information about this program can be found at: Audubon at Home

Our backyards are our private spaces, but also part of a larger landscape we share with our human and wildlife neighbors. With the right tools and information, we all can do simple things to create a healthier place to live for our families, our communities, and birds, plants, and other wildlife. Audubon At Home is about taking personal conservation action to improve the environmental health and habitat quality of our yards and neighborhoods. Together, our actions can have a substantial effect.

In addition to some presentations given during the day, tents were set up near the spotlight gardens so that members of participating groups could answer questions about the gardens.
