The Value of Native Plants

To learn more about the relationships between birds, caterpillars and their host plants, attend a screening of Doug Tallamy’s lecture “The Value of Having Native Plants in Our Yards” at Crossroads at Big Creek. This lecture was presented last January at a conference sponsored by Wild Ones of the Fox Valley Area. This free video program is scheduled for Nov. 1 at 2 pm.

Another free program will be offered by the Door Peninsula Astronomical Society (DPAS) on Nov. 4 at 7 pm as a part of their November meeting. Dr. John Beck will present a program about the viewing clubs of the astronomical league, and also, with the help of DPAS members, will share some Christmas gift ideas for backyard astronomers. Tom Minahan will present “This Month in Astronomy.” Visitors are encouraged to attend. Use the Utah Street Entrance to reach the Astronomy Center.

Crossroads at Big Creek, Inc. is a donor-supported preserve welcoming learners of all ages to activities and programs in science, history and the environment. The Collins Learning Center, located at 2041 Michigan St. in Sturgeon Bay, is open 2 – 4:30 pm daily and during scheduled events.
