Join NPSOT-Wilco’s online chapter meeting on Thursday, October 8, 2020, at 7:00 pm, when guest speaker Jane Tillman will present Native Plants for Birds.
You must register in advance to attend the meeting. See instructions under How to Attend, later in this post.
About Native Plants for Birds: Your plant choices have an impact on birds. Find out what you can do to increase your yard, greenbelt or park’s appeal to migrants and resident species. Choosing native plants will bring your landscape to life.
Our guest speaker, Jane Tillman, was recognized as the National Wildlife Federations’ Volunteer of the Year in 2011 for her work with their Habitat Steward program, training people to create wildlife habitat in their yards and parks. Jane is a past president of the Native Plant Society of Texas, Austin chapter. She was part of the team that developed the new NPSOT Native Landscape for Birds NLCP Companion class. As an active Travis Audubon Society member and Capital Area Master Naturalist, she gives talks and teaches classes about Central Texas birds and gardening for birds to garden clubs, neighborhood associations, lifelong learning groups, bird festivals, and libraries. Her yard has a Best of Texas Backyard Wildlife Habitat certification. Jane travels around Texas to see birds and the different ecoregions they inhabit, participating in the Century Club challenge to see 100 species in 100 Texas counties – 89 down with 11 to go. She loves for people to tell her what they have seen birds eating.
Two handouts from Jane are below, from the Travis Audubon Society. As with all plant lists, please verify that any non-natives included are not invasive before planting. You can determine if a plant is invasive by going to TexasInvasives.org.
