SUMMARY:Bringing Birds to the Garden: California Native Plants for the Win
DESCRIPTION:Bringing Birds to the Garden: California Native Plants for the Win\nThursday\, September 10\, 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM\nSpeaker: Benny Isaac Jacobs Schwartz\nEvent is free. Register HERE for this speaker series. \nTopic:\nCalifornia is home to more than 5\,000 native plant species and over 700 recorded bird species\, yet habitat loss\, development\, and invasive plants threaten this biodiversity. \nThis presentation will explore the relationship between native plants and birds—and how home gardens can help restore habitat. Participants will learn how native plants provide food\, shelter\, and nesting opportunities\, along with practical guidance for planning\, planting\, and maintaining a garden suited to local conditions. \nThe program will also introduce birds commonly found in California yards\, parks\, and open spaces. Attendees will leave with useful tools and inspiration for creating landscapes that support birds and other wildlife. \nSpeaker Bio:\nBenny Isaac Jacobs Schwartz is the founder of BIRDS by BIJS\, a bird-guiding company and lifestyle brand connecting people with nature through birds. With more than 15 years of experience as a naturalist\, expedition leader\, and international bird guide\, he has led birding adventures across North and South America. He is also an educator and photographer who encourages people to slow down\, observe nature\, and discover the joy of birding. \nPhoto Credit: Townsend’s Warbler\nBy BIRDS by BIJS

Registration opens on August 12 at 8:00 AM. See cost below. \nREGISTER HERE \nJoin us for a day of seabird and marine mammal watching as we head out to the Farallon Islands and offshore waters aboard Captain Christian’s power catamaran\, Outer Limits. When we last did this cruise sightings included Humpback Whales\, Laysan and Black-footed Albatross\, Tufted Puffin\, Rhinoceros and Cassin’s Auklets\, shearwaters and jaegers. \nWe will get a close-up look at the islands and hear about their interesting natural and human history. This is a trip that both experienced and first-time birders and nature lovers enjoy. \nA rain jacket and pants are recommended no matter what the weather on shore. If you get seasick easily\, this is not the trip for you. We will be on the boat all day. \nAlthough unlikely at this time of year\, rescheduling might be necessary at the last minute due to sea conditions. \nThe trip costs $165. A waitlist will open if the trip sells out. Add your name to the list by clicking Contact Organizer prompt.  If you cancel your registration by September 5 and we can fill your spot with someone else on the waitlist\, you will be reimbursed\, minus a small transaction fee\, unless you would like to convert your registration fee into a tax-deductible donation to MAS. \nDIRECTIONS:\nTake Highway 101 to the Marin City/Sausalito exit\, head south on Bridgeway. Turn left at Mollie Stone’s onto Harbor Drive and proceed to the parking area at the end. We will meet on the south side of the parking lot to check in before boarding. Plan to arrive by 8:30 AM for check-in and instructions.
