Amy Zimmermann, Conservation Chair of the Northern Arizona Audubon Society, will discuss how you can make your own backyard friendly to our feathered friends. Focusing on native plants, Amy will show you which plants will attract our local birds by providing food and shelter.
It is easy and inexpensive to make areas on your own property attractive to birds. Not only will you be helping preserve area birds but you will have the pleasure of seeing them up close as they live their private lives in your yard
Amy Zimmermann earned a degree in Wildlife Biology from Oregon State University in 2009, where she became hooked on birds and birding, and she has been working with birds ever since. She is passionate about conservation and sustainability, and in finding and sharing ways that people and nature can coexist more harmoniously. She is the Conservation Chair for Northern Arizona Audubon Society and works at High Country Raptors in Williams, caring for birds of prey and educating Bearizona visitors about the importance of birds and wildlife, and the small ways in which all of us can help them. Her own backyard is slowly transforming into a paradise for birds, with 21 species of birds having been spotted stopping by since she moved there in September 2018–with the potential for many more!
