“A GARDEN FOR WILDLIFE” -- ACTIVE RET...Description
Beat the winter blues and start getting ready for spring at the February General Meeting of the Active Retirement Association! The ARA offers programs reflecting the many interests of people 50+ years old, retired or not. Please join us to meet new friends, sample delicious refreshments, and learn more about the ARA and its upcoming activities on Monday, February 12, 2018, 1:30 pm, at the Durham Evangelical Church (lower level), 114 Dover Road (Route 108), Durham, NH. The program will feature UNH Extension educator Malin Clyde discussing “A Garden for Wildlife: Natural Landscaping for a Better Backyard.” Ms. Clyde will show how anyone with a backyard garden or landscaped area can help wildlife by altering their landscaping or gardening practices. Her presentation covers wildlife habitats, plant choice, use of native plants, nest boxes and feeders, and issues such as invasive plants. Malin Clyde is an Extension Specialist with UNH Cooperative Extension with expertise in environmental stewardship and citizen science. Three years ago, she launched “The Stewardship Network: New England,” an Extension initiative that is building a culture of stewardship in New Hampshire by mobilizing volunteers for stewardship and citizen science projects hosted by over 165 different towns, agencies, and non-profit groups. Ms. Clyde lives in Durham with her family, and is an enthusiastic user of the town's network of conservation lands, trails, and natural communities. Currently the ARA has approximately 350 members from over 35 communities in New Hampshire and Maine, who support the organization by annual dues. We offer lectures, discussion groups, films, cultural tours, walks/hikes, classes, special-interest groups, and much more!
