Not only will we identify and learn about trees and find uses for different parts, but we will learn about the birds, squirrels, and other critters who call them home. Learn all about the birds in this area, along with how to be a citizen scientist and participate in Bird Counts, and how to provide appropriate habitat and food for different kinds of living things.
