Zoom Sharing - Increasing biodiversity in my yard!
Monday, February 17, 5:00 PM
Join us for an online Education meeting that focuses on what we are doing to increase biodiversity in our yards. This is a participation meeting with all of us sending photos or describing what we are personally doing. If you are not a current member you'll need to register in order to receive the Zoom link.
Eau Claire Master Gardeners before frost make sure you are taking photos in your garden. For this February Zoom photo program we are trying to focus on native plants as well as things you can do to increase biodiversity in your yard. Your photos can be sent to Andy Heren at: Rcktnut007@aol.com. Send photos with brief identifiying descriptions by February 13, 2025.
Some examples of photos to look for:
-
Native plants and trees(these are plants that were in this area before Europeans settled here and brought other plants). A few examples include goldenrod, purple coneflowers, rattlesnake master, rudebeckia, sugar maples, red and white oak etc.
-
Reduced your lawn and planted a new garden bed
-
Invasive Plants you removed
-
A water feature - simple as a bird bath
-
Habitat for critters - stumps and brush that you've left in your yard
-
Soft landings under trees for caterpillars
