Learn how to make your yard a 5-star attraction for wildlife. Join us on Thursday, May 8, when the amazing duo, Michelle Foss and Noah Sundberg, present: Native Plants, Pollinators, and YOU! Why native plants are important, and one family's journey to promote native microhabitat for all. Plus, tips and tricks for all experience levels and land access — you don't have to have a yard to help!

Michelle, a former ASO board member, is director of operations at Fontenelle Forest. Noah is a horticulturist with Nebraska Game and Parks Commission.

The all-star lineup continues at our Thursday, June 12, meeting: Sustaining Birds, Bugs, Wildlife and Bees with Trees! Rockstar naturalist Justin Evertson will share the wisdom he’s gleaned in more than 35 years with the Nebraska Forest Service and the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum. Justin is recognized as a leading expert on the trees and shrubs that are critical to support biodiversity and sustainability in our region.
