Old Orchard Beach/Saco Adult and Community Education

By incorporating native plants, water features, habitat restoration and food sources, you can transform your yard and assist Maine wildlife. Discuss ways you can modify your lawn and garden to support birds, bats, frogs, bees, butterflies and many other helpful animals and pollinators. Small changes in native plant cover can have huge impacts and increase the diversity of insects, birds and other wildlife visiting our yards; providing food for native birds indirectly by supporting native insects that birds can consume or directly by providing fruits and seeds. Collaborate with neighbors and amplify your impact by creating essential wildlife corridors. Tuition includes a starter kit and a video on growing native plants.
