Sunday, August 25, 10 a.m.–12 p.m.
Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary, Topsfield

All species on our planet need habitat—a place to call home. Habitats provide shelter from the weather and predators, a place to raise young, water, and of course food. With over 2,000 acres, the Ipswich River Wildlife Sanctuary is a perfect place to see what birds require for habitat and learn the basics of how you can transform your own landscape into a sustainable habitat for birds. Participants will receive a guided tour of the nature gardens, as well as a list of native trees, bushes, and ground cover that provide food for birds.

Co-sponsored by the Essex County Ornithological Club. Cost: $10 for BBC or ECOC members; $20 for non-members. To reserve a space, pay by credit card in the form below. Or, email diana.fru@gmail.com and send a check for the full amount made out to Brookline Bird Club Agent to Diana Fruguglietti, 5 Ellen Road, Woburn, MA, 01801.
