Ada Township Park Offers Make a Birdfeeder Program Feb 11 2012
Ada Township Parks and Recreation has a great class for families
and individuals to invite nature into their own backyard. They will be
offering a “Make A Birdfeeder” on Saturday, Feb. 11, 2012 at 10:00am.
Birds are stressed in the winter trying to find food, especially
under snowfall. Even with the open winter we have had this year,
birds struggle to maintain their daily intake. Offering food in a back
yard birdfeeder helps the birds get the necessary nutrients they need
to stay healthy all year.
The Birdfeeder Program will help identify local winter birds, help
attract them to your backyard, and help you build a wooden birdfeeder
to take home and install. All materials and supplies will be included.
Participants will also learn how to be a part of the Great Backyard Bird
Count held Feb 17-20 throughout the United States. This event tallies
more than 10 million observations from Citizen Scientists in the U.S.
and provides locations of over 600 bird species.
Pre-registration is requested – Call Ada Township Parks office at
616-676-0520 or email mfitspatrick@adatownshipmi.com by Thurs,
Feb 9th. Cost is $10 per bird feeder, payable at the event.
