Aubrey James Shepherd will be our speaker at the November 28 meeting.
Aubrey is going to show us how to submit individual applications to the National Wildlife Federation in order to have our yards or property certified as a wildlife habitat.
Aubrey will bring samples of his photographs.
Aubrey has said, “When I focus my camera on a tiny creature I can see, my photos often reveal creatures I never actually saw and sometimes the even smaller creatures they are eating, driving me to books such as 'Bringing Nature Home' to try to find out what I am seeing. And the Internet offers more information in an hour than I can find in a library in a day.”

Don’t miss this presentation by Mr. Shepherd! We’ve attached photographs of the N.W.F. “Certified Wildlife Habitat” yard signs which you may be interested in ordering from N.W.F. after your yard or property is certified. Mr. Shepherd does not represent the N.W.F., their programs, or their products.
Don't forget, November is our seed/plant exchange. Bring any seeds or plants you would like to share with other members. Also, please bring canned goods for Gods Pantry. At this meeting we'll also have a sign-up sheet for our Christmas Lunch.
Our Hostesses for the November meeting are Nancy Riedesel and Roxie Geddie. Our Author is Lyn Kennedy. Hope to see you then!!
