The talk will focus on her research comparing how well native and nonnative trees provide food for insect-eating Carolina chickadees. She will share results from her work that can help you choose trees and shrubs that will support habitat for birds and other backyard wildlife. She is a postdoctoral researcher at University of Massachusetts Amherst.
The program is sponsored by the Friends of Dyke Marsh and co-sponsored by Plant NOVA Natives, the Northern Virginia Bird Club, and the Potowmack Chapter of the Virginia Native Plant Society.
