“Wild About Conservation” webinar series starts in June
Print
EmailPeople working to conserve land and wildlife each contribute to the resiliency and sustainability of our environment.
Human activities in yards and neighborhoods affect local wildlife and the quality of water in our soil, land, lakes, and rivers. No matter the size, our yards can serve as a refuge for unique plants and animals. From landscaping with native trees and shrubs to adding water features, even the smallest of things that we do can help.
Join us in our fourth year as experts from Michigan State University Extension discuss conservation practices anyone can implement on their property. Registration is free for the series. You can take part in one or all eight of the Wild About Conservation webinars from the comfort of your home. Webinars will take place on Tuesdays twice a month, beginning on June 13, 2023, at 1 p.m. Each webinar will address a unique topic related to conservation and will feature an MSU Extension professional or experienced guest speaker.
You can register at any time during the series. Once registered for all topics you will receive a link to all previously recorded webinars in the series.
