All are welcome to this very special OPAS event celebrating National Hummingbird Day­­­­­­­­­—and the designation by the National Wildlife Federation (NWF) of the north Olympic Peninsula as a Community Wildlife Habitat™!

Marking this event, NWF representatives and community leaders will be in attendance. Following their remarks, the audience will be treated to an informative talk by Julie O'Donald, Native Plant and Community Wildlife Habitat Steward, who returns by popular demand to the Backyard Birding classroom. Julie will overview the elements that create enticing gardens benefiting pollinators, birds, and people. She will emphasize the best native plants for pollinators and hummingbirds and the design features that create and sustain bird habitat. Beautiful photography of native plants will illustrate how to bring nature home to any size property.

Attendance is free, but a $5 donation is suggested. Read more about this special event at this link: https://olympicpeninsulaaudubon.org/events-calendar/opas-backyard-birding-native-plants-for-bees-butterflies-and-hummingbirds
