Forestry for MI Birds

Join the Kalkaska Conservation District, Kalkaska County Library, and American Bird Conservancy for an informative workshop on Forestry for Michigan Birds!
Meet at the Coldsprings Branch Library located at the Coldsprings Township Hall, 6515 County Road 571 NE, Mancelona, on Jan. 30 at 4 p.m. to learn all about how to enhance bird habitats.
Beginning with a 30-minute presentation by Austin Heslinga, a wildlife biologist from the American Bird Conservancy. Austin will explain ways to recover forest bird populations while preserving the health of forest ecosystems and promoting sustainable land use.
Following the presentation, participants will create their own bird feeders to take home, offering a way to support local birds and bring conservation efforts to their backyards. We will make bird feeders out of second-hand coffee mugs. If you have a special coffee mug that you would like to use for this craft, feel free to bring it!
This presentation is open to anyone interested and is free, but RSVPs are required to ensure enough supplies are purchased.
