EmailPopular online backyard conservation series returns for another season of lunch time webinars.
Many people have questions about where to start or how to implement conservation practices at their homes or on their properties. The Michigan State University Extension’s “Wild About Woods, Wetlands, and Wildlife” webinar series will once again provide a series of convenient, online learning opportunities for everyone, experienced and beginner alike.
Join us as we start our second season of backyard conservation seminars in the “Wild About” webinar series on June 9. The series will repeat every two weeks until September 29 providing a total of nine webinars focused on how to implement conservation practices related to woods or wetlands or wildlife habitat!
Each seminar is presented by Michigan State University Extension natural resources educators. We provide time at the end of each session to ask specific questions live or you may choose to connect with these professionals later. Cost for each Wednesday session is once again $5 per session or $35 for all nine sessions. You can pick and choose your topic or choose them all for a single discounted price! All sessions will be recorded to view later or catch up if you missed one.
