Native Shrubs for Birds with Anne Little

Anne Little, co-founder of the Virginia Bluebird Society and founder of Tree Fredericksburg, will introduce you to native trees and shrubs that help sustain our bird populations. Three billion birds have disappeared across North America since 1970 — a 29% decline. Two-thirds of the our continent’s bird species are at risk of extinction due to climate change. By creating the proper habitat in our yards and public spaces, we can help slow this decline.

The cost is $10 per person. Learn more and register here.

Sponsored by the Fairfax County Park Authority.
