Public Welcome Free Event Chapter Meeting Wheelchair Accessible Public Restroom Free Public Parking Drinking Fountains

Member Ran Powers will give a timely presentation on Attracting Bluebirds and Other Native Cavity Nesting Birds.  We cherish all our native wildlife, of course including birds, but see how our native cavity nesting birds face tough and unique challenges, and how you can help!

Ran is a middle Tennessee native, originally from Clarksville, where he gained an early love for the outdoors and wildlife. He's a retired Air Force major and F-111 pilot, was also an airline pilot, and he still flight instructs at Murfreesboro Aviation. Ran's passion for native plants began 31 years ago with a trip to the library. As a self-taught native plant gardener, he says he has had to learn more botanical names than he cares to admit.

We’ll continue our popular Freebie/Swap Table, so if you have any native plants, seeds, nature-related books, or other treasures you wish to re-home, please bring them along.

Everyone is welcome!

Zoom Link available soon.
