How to Create Wildlife Habitat
at home, school, work, parks…all throughout your community!
Habitat Stewards Introduction Workshop
Saturday, February 27, 2010 ~ 9:00 am until 3:00 pm
Sewee Visitor Center, Awendaw, SC
Over 60,000 acres of wildlife habitat in South Carolina are destroyed every year and turned into parking lots, roads, malls, etc. Through the many habitat programs of the SC Wildlife Federation, community members work together to create wildlife habitat in backyards, parks, schoolyards, on business property, and at other places throughout the community. As part of our workshop at the Sewee Center, we will be helping to create a Carolina Fence Garden at the center. Come learn what you need to create and enhance wildlife habitat in your community!
Topics covered include:
- Basics of a wildlife habitat – big benefits from small changes
- Types of birdfeeders and making your own suet
- Simple fresh water features
- Native Plants that provide food and cover for wildlife
- Nesting boxes to raise young
- Building a Carolina Fence garden
- Planning your habitat and finding resources
SPACE IS LIMITED! Register no later than Tuesday, February 23rd.
