Front Range Wild Ones Presents
Creating a Suburban Wildlife Oasis
By Marcia Tatroe
Wednesday, April 8, 2015 at 7pm
Englewood Public Library (Anderson Room)
Marcia Tatroe will show you how any landscape, no matter how small, can be converted into a wildlife habitat that hosts a variety of creatures. Marcia is author of Cutting Edge Gardening in the Intermountain West and is a garden columnist for the Denver Post. Her 1/8 of an acre in suburban Centennial is a Humane Society wildlife habitat, a Xerces Society pollinator habitat, and has been named an outstanding wildlife habitat by Habitat Hero.
This free talk is sponsored by Front Range Wild Ones, which promotes environmentally sound landscaping practices to preserve biodiversity through the preservation, restoration and establishment of native plant communities. We meet every first Wednesday at Englewood Public Library and have yard tours in the summer. Please visit our website at: www.frontrangewildones.org.
