The Weminuche Audubon Society Board is excited to announce our successful application and award of a grant through the National Audubon Society to promote the use of native plants. In collaboration with the Geothermal Greenhouse Project, this money will be used to install a demonstration Habitat Hero Native Plant garden near the growing domes in Centennial Park. The primary intention of this project is to bring immediate attention to the importance of landscaping with native plants for the benefit of birds and other pollinators.

We will also host a Native Plant Workshop this summer to educate the public on the importance of native plants with training on planting a successful garden in our challenging environment.

Our thanks to the chapter members who assisted in writing the application. Watch for announcements of volunteer opportunities as we move forward with this project.
