"Attracting Birds, Butterflies, Bees and Other Beneficials," a power point presentation offered by naturalist and landscaper John Root, describes the essential roles played by birds, pollinators, and other beneficial wildlife and provides guidance on meeting their needs for food, cover, and water. A variety of plants that nourish these organisms throughout their lifecycles is discussed, and organic methods for establishing wildlife habitat are also presented. Handouts are downloadable, and comments and questions will be welcome at the conclusion of the program. A recording of this event will be scheduled for multiple broadcasts by Westfield Community Access Television and will be made accessible at their website via YouTube. 

Cosponsored and hosted by the Westfield Athenaeum. 

This program is supported  by the Westfield Cultural Council, a local agency which is supported by the Massachusetts Cultural Council, a state agency.
