Project CHIRP!

Tonight I am going to attend my first meeting of the Oakville Horticultural Society. Anyone can attend and there's a free "guest pass" on their website.

Here's the description about the focus of tonight's meeting. Very exciting stuff!

Gardening for Song Bird Conservation: Project CHIRP with Christina Sharma

Christina Sharma uses the design of her property as a teaching tool for songbird conservation, encouraging the establishment of residential habitats -- how to feed and shelter song birds in our own gardens with native plants

Christina has been a volunteer educator with the Canadian Wildlife Federation since 2001. In 2002, she received the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal for her public education on how residential properties can support wildlife conservation. In 2007, she founded Project CHIRP!

Project CHIRP! is a songbird conservation initiative in which the survival needs of songbirds are met through the creation of Canadian Wildlife Federation-certified songbird habitats on residential properties.

Please join us this April as Christine shows us how and what to plant to meet the survival needs of local and migratory songbirds.
