Discover the basic essentials in creating a wildlife-friendly yard and garden. The secret to attracting butterflies, birds, and other wonderful wildlife is reestablishing a more natural habitat. In a world where widespread land practices have diminished biodiversity, this course empowers you with insights into simple actions you can implement in your own yard, contributing to the broader environmental well-being. You will soon be attracting and delighting in birds, butterflies, and bumblebees, ensuring a thriving habitat for generations to come.
This class is priced on a sliding fee scale. Please pay the price you are able. This helps to ensure that Community Education can provide quality opportunities for all of our participants.
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.
