Prepare for the Great Backyard Bird Count with WOW!

Sometimes in Extension we joke that we mostly identify plants and animals for people. While there’s some truth to this I’m delighted to say there are now very easy ways anyone can get great identification information free from your smartphone.

This is the second in a series of WOW Entomology publications. Each publication highlights a common insect impacting forests in a particular region of the United States, paired with an interview of a woman landowner who has had to address that insect in managing her forest.

Join ForestHER NC landowners, natural resource professionals, and others for the second of four interactive webinars about managing for wildlife! In this webinar we will discuss common invasive plants of North Carolina, how they adversely impact wildlife, and some of the challenges with invasive plant control. We will also introduce you to landscaping with native plants and highlight some favorite trees, shrubs, perennials, vines and grasses that benefit pollinators, birds, mammals, and other wildlife.
