ASHVILLE – The Chautauqua Watershed Conservancy and Jamestown Audubon Society are offering a summer series encouraging people to use landscaping techniques that will benefit native wildlife, retain water and minimize the need for fertilizers.
The first of these “Healthy Landscapes ~ Healthy Waters” workshops will be held on Thursday, June 26 from 7 to 8 p.m. at the BOCES Hewes Educational Center on West Lake Road in Ashville.
Jon Titus, Associate Professor of Biology at SUNY Fredonia, will be speaking about the importance and benefits of using native plants and the damage that can be done by invasive (or non-native) plants.
This event is free for all CWC and JAS members, with a $10 donation for non-members. Reservations are not required for this event.
