A themed program series

Bird-Friendly Landscapes: Cultivating Habitats, Connecting Lives

Bird-Friendly Landscapes: Cultivating Habitats, Connecting Lives is a series of programs and exhibits presented in partnership with the New Hope Bird Alliance that explores the intricate links between native plants, insects, and birds.

Through Lunchbox Talks, self-guided tours, bird walks, gardening workshops, art classes, and more, participants will explore the pivotal role native vegetation plays in supporting our local ecosystems and bird populations.

This series aims to provide meaningful learning experiences, promote sustainable practices, and raise awareness about the importance of preserving and promoting native plant habitats.

This theme will run from fall 2024 into spring 2025. We’ll continue to add new programs to the listing linked below – stay tuned for updates!
