Those frightening ‘vampire’ bats are even helping to treat stroke victims! \nBats: Our Backyard Buddies flyer

DESCRIPTION:Presented by\nHannah Schrager\, Owner of Good Year Farms\nwww.goodyearfarms.com \nLandscaping with PNW Native Plants is an introductory course for those who seek to marry aesthetics and ecology. In this class we will discuss how to choose the right plant for the right place. We will learn how to examine ecological clues to determine what will grow best in your yard. The class will also cover how to create structure with native plants to produce a look and vibe you like. \nUsing native plants in your landscape creates improved habitat opportunities for wildlife and can lead to lower maintenance needs over time. This class will leave you with a better understanding of how to select native species for your space\, how to source them\, and the ecology of “backyard habitat” maintenance. Whether you are already at work propagating native plants in your space or new to the idea\, this class will offer you valuable information about what to consider in your yard and its role in our regional landscape. \nLandscaping with PNW Native Plants Flyer

SUMMARY:Not Weeds-Northwest Roadside Wildflowers
DESCRIPTION:May 20\, 2022 4:00 p.m. \nPresented by\nMark Turner\, Photographer\, Speaker\, Writer \nNorthwest roadsides can spring to life with showy wildflowers during the spring and summer. While we have a number of invasive weeds\, many of our native species also put on quite a show\, including a few that are rare or endemic like the uniquely-colored Lomatium columbianum (Columbia desert parsley) found along Hwy 14 in the Columbia Gorge. Some flowers are prominent enough to recognize at 65 mph on the freeway. Others will be found only when meandering slowly along a Forest Service byway. In this program you’ll be introduced to about 60 plants that are easily recognized from behind your windshield. \nThis month\, we are again partnering with The Camas Library for this online Zoom Webinar. For registration\, please use the link below.
