Mi Bird-Friendly Communities Lunch & Learn Webinar Series: Fall Garden Cleanup

As fall approaches, it’s time to consider what garden and yard maintenance needs to be done. Are you looking for an excuse not to rake your leaves? Would you prefer to put off trimming your garden plants? The good news is that minimal cleanup is preferred for the benefit of birds, insects, and other wildlife. 

Join us to learn the do’s and don’ts of cleaning up your yard and garden — we’ll cover which tasks to tackle this fall, which to put on hold, and when to complete those that we suggest holding off on.

We will also be broadcasting the webinar live through our Facebook page and a recording will be made available following the event.

This event is a part of our Mi Bird-Friendly Communities Lunch & Learn webinar series. Each webinar takes place on the second Tuesday of each month at 12 p.m. and is free.
