What do coffee, chocolate, gardening, and our wonderful windows have in common? Besides being some of our favorite things, they also represent important and meaningful ways that you can have a positive impact on the birds we love!The event will include three short presentations (5-10 minutes each) about:
- supporting birds through gardening with native plants,
- preventing birds from flying into windows, and
- how the Smithsonian Bird Friendly® coffee certification protects birds in their winter habitats.
During this event, attendees will get to:
- taste delicious Bird Friendly coffee from one of Wisconsin's first certified roasters, Barnwood Coffee of Two Rivers, and purchase some to take home if desired,
- peruse native plant catalogs and learn about our Native Plant Sale,
- take home a free native plant (species to be determined)
- see, touch, and share easy ways to keep birds from flying into windows, including taking home a window treatment kit for a small donation.
This event is hosted by Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance, SOS Save Our Songbirds, and Barnwood Coffee Company.
