Help your neighbors and pass on some holiday cheer and abundance! Complete info at ashland.or.us/mlkFoodDrive.
The annual Project FeederWatch program is underway at the North Mountain Park Nature Center and you can help! On alternate Saturdays in Jan, starting on the 4th, learn to identify species with birding experts as we count the number of birds who visit the feeders! This info is then submitted to Cornell University’s FeederWatch project, a nationwide effort. More info at ashland.or.us/Birding. (This program continues through Mar 2020.)
