We Honor Martin Luther King Today - Beyond Pesticides Daily News Blog
beyondpesticides.org
(Beyond Pesticides, January 18, 2021) We honor Martin Luther King, Jr. today on Martin Luther King Day—a day of national service with volunteer opportunities across the nation. During this day of reflection, consider reading Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream Speech” or listening to it here. At Beyo...Timeline PhotosThe Landscaping with Colorado Native Plants Conference is brought to you by a coalition of partner organizations: Butterfly Pavilion, Colorado State University Department of Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, CSU Denver Extension, Colorado Native Plant Master Program®, Colorado Native Plant Society, Denver Botanic Gardens, Front Range Wild Ones, High Plains Environmental Center, and Susan J Tweit, author.
The Landscaping with Colorado Native Plants Conference promotes the inclusion of native plants in our landscaping to benefit pollinators and songbirds, save water, and restore the beauty and health of nature in the places we live, work and play.
While we recommend the use of straight species and local ecotypes wherever possible, we support the use of varieties and cultivars of native species as long as their breeding doesn’t interfere with their ability to function in nature and maintain key relationships with pollinators and other lives.

For all you fellow bird lovers, I thought I'd share this was a genius way to safely scare off woodpeckers from damaging homes. Thought I'd share here – awhile back, I saw someone post that they put up a fake lizard/alligator toy near the damage on their house to scare off woodpeckers where they were damaging the structure, they said it worked like a charm and the birds stopped damaging the area! GENIUS! Not sure if it would work, but couldn't hurt! And, it makes a great conversation piece. 🙂
I made this "fake" image in photoshop to show what I mean, I couldn't find the original post.
