Decorate a Holiday Tree for the Birds Workshop
Saturday, December 14, 10:30 a.m.

Feeding wild birds in winter is especially important in our area, where development has removed a good deal of natural winter food resources for local birds. Join the SoFo staff in what has become a holiday tradition—making bird-friendly decorations for a holiday tree using seeds, dried fruits and some surprising additions. Bring a shoebox to take home some of your creations. $20 for adults; $15 for kids.
