Please join us for this inspiring and timely live Zoom event hosted by Poughkeepsie Friends Meeting and Quaker Earth Care Witness. Jim Kessler of the Quaker Earthcare Witness Steering Committee will share stories of how creating native plant habitats impacts mental, physical, and spiritual health…and how wonderfully and dramatically they are increasing songbird, pollinator, and wildlife populations.
“My goal is to motivate others to plant butterfly gardens and larger native plant habitats to confront the extinction crisis. Loss biodiversity can be reversed by the actions of ordinary people.” —Jim Kessler
The workshop will take place via live zoom on Wednesday evening, April 3 from 7:00 to 8:00 pm.
