Trees and Shrubs for a Jersey-Friendly Winter Wildlife Garden

Trees and shrubs are essential to attracting and sustaining wildlife in your winter garden. Becky LaBoy will use the Jersey-Friendly Yards website to identify and explore native trees and shrubs that offer food and shelter for birds and other wildlife, and that provide beauty and interest to our winter yards. Tips and techniques for creating brush piles, installing roosting and nesting boxes, and for maintaining stems and leaves for overwintering beneficial insects will also be discussed.

Ms. Laboy is the Education Outreach Specialist for the Ocean County Soil Conservation District. She has over 20 years of experience working as an educator in both formal and informal education and natural science settings. She holds an MA in Education, a BS in Environmental Biology and a BA in International Relations. Becky enjoys landscaping her own yard to attract and support birds and wildlife and strives to inspire others to make small but positive changes in home landscaping practices for a healthier planet.



We are excited about our local NPSNJ chapter that serves native plant enthusiasts in Atlantic County and Cape May County as well as anyone from areas west or north who would like to join us. We hold eight evening meetings a year on the 3rd Monday of the month (September, October, November, February, March, April, May, and June).
