SUMMARY:Inviting Wildlife into the Garden
DESCRIPTION:Transform your landscape into a garden that attracts a wealth of beneficial wildlife\, including birds\, mammals\, amphibians\, and a wide variety of insects. Unlock the important connections between pollinators\, plants\, and habitats they require. Explore Mt. Cuba’s naturalistic gardens to observe the best native plants for migrating and resident birds. Learn the importance of having water in the garden to support turtles\, damselflies\, and bats and the value of creating environments that sustain wildlife year-round.\nThis program takes place in person at Mt. Cuba Center on three Thursdays: 8/8 through 8/22.\nAbout the Instructor:\nLeah Brooks is the Public Programs Coordinator at Mt. Cuba Center. She has dual bachelor’s degrees from the University of Delaware in Environmental Science and Wildlife Ecology. She is a Delaware Master Naturalist and Vice Chair of the Delaware Invasive Species Council. She’s an avid contributor to the Delaware Native Plant Identification and Exchange group on Facebook. Her passion is sharing the joy of nature and native gardening with others.\nIan Stewart\, PhD\, was raised in Newcastle\, England and received a doctorate in ornithology from the University of Leicester. He has conducted research on tree swallows and bluebirds and how local land management activities are affecting bird numbers and diversity throughout the year. Ian works for the Delaware Nature Society where he is studying the effects of non-native plants on birds.

SUMMARY:Native Alternatives to Invasive Ornamentals
DESCRIPTION:Non-native invasive plants\, like Japanese barberry and English ivy\, damage our environment by invading natural areas and outcompeting native plants. To help stop the spread\, the Delaware state legislature recently passed a law banning the sale of 36 invasive plant species. Join Leah Brooks as she presents beautiful native alternatives to these invasive ornamentals and explains how making these substitutes helps protect our ecosystems. A garden walk to view recommended plants is included.\nThis program takes place in person at Mt. Cuba Center on Friday\, July 19\, 2024.\nAbout the Instructor:\nLeah Brooks is the Public Programs Coordinator at Mt. Cuba Center. She has dual bachelor’s degrees from the University of Delaware in Environmental Science and Wildlife Ecology. She is a Delaware Master Naturalist and Vice Chair of the Delaware Invasive Species Council. She’s an avid contributor to the Delaware Native Plant Identification and Exchange group on Facebook. Her passion is sharing the joy of nature and native gardening with others.

SUMMARY:Dragonflies: Aerial Acrobats
DESCRIPTION:Dragonflies have been around for 300 million years\, with several extinct species having wingspans of over two feet. Inhabiting sites around lakes\, ponds\, streams\, and wetlands\, they are excellent predators\, eating mosquitoes and other small insects.

Tour our ponds and see how these aerial acrobats fit into our ecosystems and how you can create a place in your garden for them.\nThis program takes place in person at Mt. Cuba Center on Friday\, July 12\, 2024.\nAbout the Instructor:\nMichael Moore recently retired from being a Biology professor after 38 years. He learned a love of the outdoors from his father who was an avid outdoorsman and fisherman. He started birding in Massachusetts when he was 11 years old. Michael worked at Manomet Bird Observatory in Massachusetts in college and then completed a PhD in Zoology at the University of Washington on White-crowned Sparrow breeding behavior and endocrinology.
