SUMMARY:Every Yard Counts  via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Despite global conservation efforts and successes\, many bird species have continued to decline over the past century. These declines received significant attention recently with the published paper in Science\, detailing the loss of 3 billion birds in North America\, as well as Audubon’s report on the impacts from climate change. Many of the species detailed in these reports are Neotropical migrants and cover vast amounts of land annually. Join us to learn about how you can make your yards and homes bird-friendly and support populations of migratory birds. \nMatthew Shumar is based in the School of Environment and Natural Resources at The Ohio State University where he is Program Coordinator of the Ohio Bird Conservation Initiative. He was the Project Coordinator and co-editor for The Second Atlas of Breeding Birds in Ohio and is Co-Director for the upcoming Ohio Bird Atlas 3. Matthew also runs a private research station with a year-round bird banding program in southeastern Ohio with his wife\, Molly\, and is currently serving as President of the Association of Field Ornithologists. \nVisit https://natureinmybackyard.ohionativeplants.org/programs/ to register for this program.

SUMMARY:Lighting Up the Night  via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Lighting Up the Night: Gardening for Fireflies \nElijah Crabtree will begin with an introduction on the fascinating natural history of fireflies across the globe\, and here at home — where our eastern temperate forests host high levels of firefly biodiversity. Following this discussion on the fascinating nature of our flashy summer companions\, Elijah will explain the current threats facing Ohio’s fireflies and how each of us can take action in our own backyard to not only protect them but even bring them back!\nElijah is an Education Specialist and Naturalist for the Arc of Appalachia. He was born and raised in Chillicothe\, Ohio\, where he acquired a passion and insatiable interest for the natural and cultural history of Appalachia and the Western Allegheny Plateau. This led him to his former on-site residency at the Tremper Mound – a newly-protected\, major Hopewell Earthwork – overseeing its development as a protected cultural and natural preserve\, and as a management and educational hub for the region. In 2025\, he joined the administrative team as an Education Specialist to organize\, coordinate and lead many of the Arc’s Naturalist Programs. Elijah is an avid student of natural sciences and particularly loves spending his time studying Ohio’s geology and botany. \nTo register for the Zoom presentation please visit\nwww.natureinmybackyard.ohionativeplants.org/programs \nNature in My Backyard is a program administered by Ohio Native Plants with support from\nthe Audubon Society of Greater Cleveland\, Shaker Lakes Garden Club\,\nand Master Gardener Volunteers of Cuyahoga County.

SUMMARY:Good Bug - Bad Bug  via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Learn about increasing biodiversity in our landscapes to attract more beneficial insects and help control insect pests. We achieve these goals by removing non-native invasive plants\, and adding\na variety of native flowers\, shrubs and trees that beautify our yards throughout the growing season. More native plants will also attract more butterflies and birds for you to enjoy. You decide what you want it to look like and what plants you prefer. A list of resources will be provided\, or you can invite the\nteam at Nature in My Backyard to help.\nMatt Valencic is a Master Gardener of Geauga County and Chair\nof the Education Committee of the Audubon Society of Greater\nCleveland. \nTo join the Zoom presentation please register\nwww.natureinmybackyard.ohionativeplants.org/programs \nNature in My Backyard is administered by Ohio Native Plants with support from\nAudubon Society of Greater Cleveland\, Shaker Lakes Garden Club\nand the Master Gardener Volunteers of Cuyahoga County.

SUMMARY:Butterflying in My Backyard  via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Mary Lynn Delfino\, a native of Scranton\, Pennsylvania\, became butterfly-obsessed more than a decade ago after discovering two butterflies named after punctuation marks: the Eastern Comma and the Question Mark. For the past 10 years\, she has volunteered as a citizen scientist with the Cuyahoga Valley National Park’s butterfly monitoring program at Terra Vista Natural Study Area. Wherever she goes\, she is butterflying\, whether in the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas\, Costa Rica\, Italy\, or her Cleveland Heights backyard\, where she is on a quest to shrink her lawn and create a habitat where all living creatures can thrive.\nIn her talk\, Butterflying in Your Backyard\, Mary Lynn will help participants identify butterflies most commonly seen in yards and natural areas in Northeast Ohio and match them to native plants\nbutterflies use as nectar sources and hosts for reproduction (so you can add them to your garden\, of course!). And although it may be summer\, she’ll also discuss simple ways you can prepare your yard this fall to support overwintering butterflies and other invertebrates. \nTo join the Zoom presentation please register\nwww.natureinmybackyard.ohionativeplants.org/programs \nNature in My Backyard is administered by Ohio Native Plants with support from\nAudubon Society of Greater Cleveland\, Shaker Lakes Garden Club\nand the Master Gardener Volunteers of Cuyahoga County.
