Native Creatures & Plants
Description
Native Creatures & Plants is a hands-on program focused on protecting and improving our local ecosystems. Members work together on community-based projects that support wildlife and make our neighborhoods healthier.

Club activities include removing invasive plants like garlic mustard that can crowd out native species, help build spaces for native creatures, and creating animal homes such as birdhouses, bat boxes, and pollinator shelters. Along the way, members learn about native plants, local wildlife, and how small actions can make a big difference for the environment.

This program is perfect for anyone who loves nature, enjoys working outdoors, and wants to give back to the community while learning practical conservation skills.

Mr. Keith will pick up the students at the lobby right after school. If the late bus is need please contact Mr. Keith at (315)283-5476 because the program runs after the buses leave. If there are any questions please feel free to reach out.
