March 2025 Meeting

Tue, March 4, 7:30 – 9:00 pm
Blue Spruce Park Lodge
Speaker: Deb Beisel

Description

Deb Beisel will be our presenter at our March meeting. "Gardening for Birds and More," her presentation, will cover the habitat requirements of some of our native species. She will talk about the plants that will best support birds, including those that provide insects for birds in the spring and summer. She also hopes to compile a list of plants and where they may be purchased locally.

Deb is a native of Pennsylvania, having grown up in the northeastern corner of the state near the Susquehanna River. She planted her first garden when she was 10 years old and, except for about five years, has had some sort of garden ever since. An avid 4Her, she took projects in horticulture, forestry, and environmental science. For the last 25 years she has taught 4Hers Forestry and Wildlife Habitat Management. She has coached Envirothon teams for several years. These experiences have helped her understand the importance of creating habitat to support insects, birds, and animals.
