Would you like to turn your property into a sanctuary for salamanders, bats, butterflies, lizards, native bees and songbirds? We'll talk about basic principles of providing backyard habitat and the specifics of how to attract wildlife in the Bay Area. Our interactive program will include several DIY projects, including how to create salamander and lizard refugia, nesting for native bees and a quick-and-dirty bird feeder, all with materials you already have at home. Watch recorded event here: Learn With a Naturalist: Create Shelter for Wildlife During Shelter-in-Place May 7, 2020
