The Audubon Society of Western PA is hosting a three-part series of online workshops soon Supporting Wildlife On Your Property in May for residents of Buffalo Creek Watershed in Butler and Armstrong counties.

Audubon Naturalists will lead the workshops starting on May 9, 16 and 23 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.

Residents of the Buffalo Creek Watershed region will receive 2 native pollinator plants per workshop attended for a total of 6 plants to be collected the weekend after the last workshop.

Native pollinator plants can be picked up on May 27 or 28 from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. at the Buffalo Creek Nature Park, 154 Monroe Rd. Sarver, PA 16055.

Workshop Schedule

-- May 9: Planting to Support Birds: Uncover the amazing connection between native plants and birds, then learn more about what to plant to attract a diversity of birds to your yard.

-- May 16: Bees for The Trees and Garden: Bees are always a welcome guest in the garden. Join us to learn about the diversity of our native bee community and the plants and trees they pollinate. Using native plants and eco-friendly landscape practices provide essential elements that insects need to thrive.

-- May 23: Native Plants for Challenging Spaces: Western Pennsylvania has soils and topography that make our area distinct. This program tackles some of our area's most difficult places to landscape including slopes, erosion, invasive patches, small spaces, and wet spots. By using native plants and sustainable landscape techniques, we can turn these challenging spaces into unique garden features that support wildlife.
