Spring Baby Shower Fundraiser for the Howell Nature Center

We will be hosting a “baby shower” fundraiser that will help the Howell Nature Center rehabilitate thousands of young animals, giving them a chance to get back to living in their natural surroundings. Every year the nature center cares for over 4,000 animals, with roughly half of those coming to them traditionally over May, June & July. Please stop in and drop off/or purchase an item from their wish list.

Birds with a Sweet Tooth: All About Orioles

Presenters: Beth and Kimmie

The flaming orange of the male Baltimore Oriole is always splendid to see and the oriole's familiar series of whistle songs pleasantly reminds us that spring has arrived. In this program you will learn what foods to provide to keep them coming back and which feeders they prefer and why. You will also learn some interesting history of the two types of Orioles we have in Michigan. Also included are some fun trivia and quick tips on how to make your yard into a habitat they will visit. This is a FREE program but registration is required.
