Do you wonder where wildlife wander in winter? Join SCWF for a Winter Wildlife Workshop on Saturday, February 21st! During this workshop, participants will learn what wildlife is up to during the colder months and how to support them not just during winter, but all throughout the year right in your own backyard. Participants will learn how to create and enhance wildlife habitat by planting native plants, providing a water source, adding feeders and nest boxes, and how their own yards can be certified by the National Wildlife Federation. Learn more about how to certify your yard here.

 

 

 

Held from 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm at the Wild Birds Unlimited in Columbia, participants will also enjoy creating their own bird feeders to take home and entering for the chance to win door prizes generously donated by the Wild Birds Unlimited Nature Shop. Bird-friendly coffee and light refreshments will also be served as part of the experience. Don’t miss your chance to connect with nature this winter!
