At 10:00am on Saturday, July 17th, The WMNC will be presenting programs on creating backyard habitats that will attract more wildlife, including hummingbirds and butterflies. Whether you are a novice or a long time gardener, this is a great opportunity to get any questions answered and start making your yard a place to enjoy wildlife.
Sue Sitko, Regional Director for the Nature Conservancy, is a wildlife biologist and gardening enthusiast.
