February Meeting: "Attracting Pollinators with Native Bushes & Trees"

Speaker:  Brittany Leick, Program Coordinator, Detroit Bird Alliance


Thursday, Feb. 13 / 11:30 am, City Club


Many native plants provide nectar for hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. Others provide nourishing seeds and irresistible fruits for your feathered neighbors, offering places to nest and shelter from harm. They’re also a critical part of the food chain. Join us as Brittany shares the ways we can make our green spaces friendly to birds, bees, butterflies, and more.


Founded in 1939 as Detroit Audubon, the Detroit Bird Alliance protects birds and their habitats by engaging people, communities, and policymakers in conservation. Their work supports local activities that foster the preservation of birds and the clean air, water, wetlands, grasslands, woodlands and other natural resources upon which they depend to survive and thrive. A chapter of the National Audubon Society, the Detroit Bird Alliance has 6,000 members throughout the region, and offers a wide range of birding trips, tips, and resources.


Registration closes at midnight, February 6. Click here to register.
