Receive detailed info on attracting and sustaining butterflies and bumble bees in our gardens, with conservation info on Monarch and Rusty Patched Bumble Bee.

Gardening for Wildlife Specialty Series: The secret to attracting butterflies and other wonderful wildlife to your yard lies in restoring natural habitat. Learn more specialized information on pollinator gardens, water features, bird habitats and enjoying and maintaining the wildlife garden. Walk through the requirements of certifying your yard as a National Wildlife Federation Habitat and discuss landscape plans and layouts.

DANIEL SCHULTZ – after hearing Douglas Tallamy talk about his book “Bringing Nature Home” in 2009, I trained to become a MN Master Naturalist volunteer. I spent a lot of my time pulling Buckthorn and restoring natural areas with Great River Greening and Friends of the Mississippi (but mostly pulling buckthorn). I also worked on landscaping my own yard to try to save endangered and threatened butterflies, and generally create a sanctuary that welcomed and nurtured life in all its myriad forms. I have been the habitat team leader guiding the certification of Greater Longfellow as a Community Wildlife Habitat since 2015. The National Wildlife Federation officially certified our community in August 2021. I currently teach classes through Minneapolis Community Education, and serve on the Longfellow Community Council’s Environment and River Gorge Committee, as well as Wild Ones Twin Cities’ Education Committee. By re-connecting people to nature in their own backyards, I believe the world can be a better place for humans and wildlife.
