We will examine books for inspiration then go live on amazing websites to explore resources you never knew were there. In addition, we conduct low-cost, hands-on activities such as Plant Yoga, Wildlife Cookies and DIY Seed Balls. How will you find the information when you get home? A detailed handout provides resources and links. From citizen science to pollinator decline, and soil health to water issues, we cover topics relevant to everybody.
