Ideal Bite

Weeds hooked on your backyard? Branch out and attract a new customer base – native plants and animals – with the four-session Backyard Habitat Workshop at Camp Long. Get your hands dirty as wildlife and plant experts – like folks from Woodland Park Zoo, Seattle Audubon, and Washington Native Plant Society – show you how to turn your plot o' land (even if it's just a balcony) into a home for wildlife. You'll learn how to entice native birds, including the black-capped chickadee (chicks, man), and encourage native plants that help filter groundwater (without depending on harmful chems). They'll also show you how to deal with not-always-welcome coyotes and raccoons, and to manage invasive plants. Wildlife, hooked.
