And plant seeds for new clubs!
Region Projects:
Create a Wildlife Habitat
The requirements for a wildlife habitat are to provide food, shelter, water, and a place to raise or feed young. It needs to have plants that provide nectar in spring, summer and fall to feed insects. It should contain native shrubs and flowers to provide nectar, seeds, and berries for birds and others that winter in the habitat. This wildlife habitat will be sustainable with no pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides used.
Create A Community Native Plant Garden
The survival of all native species begins with our native plants. If one person plants a garden of native plants, not much help comes from it. If all gardens have some native plants then a habitat is created that supports the circle of life in the area. Consider diversity of color and seasonal interest in planning and design to help attract wildlife across the seasons.
