Field Trip – East Rock Park – Native Food Producing Plants and Birds: If You Plant Them They Will Come – Alexis Brown
May 4, 2019 @ 9:00 am - 11:00 am
The Eli Whitney Museum and Principal Gardener and Artist in Residence Alexis Brown will provide bird-friendly native plants for enhancing the landscape around the covered bridge and the trail along the river in East Rock Park. The NHBC provides information about the invasive plants inhibiting the growth of native bird-friendly food-producing plants and trees. Welcome to anyone who wants to wield a shovel! May is warbler migration time, and the bird walk in this well-known hot-spot for spring migrants will cover a loop beginning and ending at the covered bridge. Some binoculars will be provided. One hour planting; one hour/one mile walking. Meet under the awning at the front of the Eli Whitney Museum, 915 Whitney Avenue, Hamden.
