Join Extension educator and NH wildlife habitat specialist, Matt Tarr, for a captivating two-hour walk through the diverse landscapes of Distant Hill Gardens and Nature Trail on Wednesday, December 18th from 2:00 to 4:00 PM.
Plant identification can be crucial for enhancing wildlife habitat because it allows you to strategically select native plants that provide the specific food, shelter, and nesting sites preferred by different wildlife species in your area. This maximizes the biodiversity and health of the ecosystem by ensuring animals have access to the resources they require throughout the year; essentially, knowing what plants are present lets you tailor the habitat to the animals you want to attract and support.
