“Gardening on the Wing” in Spokane July 6

WDFW wildlife biologist Russell Link will address the Inland Empire Gardeners in Spokane July 6 on “Gardening on the Wing: Bats, Bees, Birds and Butterflies.”

Using examples from his Whidbey Island wildlife sanctuary, Link will provide tried and true ways to manage wildlife habitat around homes and properties. He’ll include timesaving approaches to landscape design, and placement of nesting boxes, bat houses, bird feeders, ponds, and specialty gardens.

Link, a 12-year veteran of WDFW and the Backyard Wildlife Sanctuary program, authored the books "Landscaping for Wildlife in the Pacific Northwest” and "Living with Wildlife in the Pacific Northwest."

The garden club meeting is open to the public and begins at 7 p.m. at Decades Meeting Place, 10502 E. Sprague at University City Mall in Spokane.
