The Birds and the Seeds: Boosting Biodiversity with Native Plants
Wednesday, June 5, at 6:30 p.m.
In this interactive workshop, participants will learn about biodiversity, what it is and how to cultivate it in common spaces.
All participants will have the opportunity to learn about seed-saving and increasing biodiversity through native planting. They also will walk away with seed bombs.
If you’re interested in growing plants, playing in the dirt and learning about easy ways to make all the birds come to your yard, then this program is for you.

Clearing clouds of confusion, from community solar: Why going solar is cost-effective for everyone
Thursday, June 6 at 5:30 p.m.
While a home solar system can be a great investment, not every home is suitable for a solar installation. New York residents have the opportunity to sign up for community solar, but the options can be confusing.
This presentation will provide an overview of solar options by Sustainable Warwick along with descriptions of contrasting community models by representatives of Solstice and SunCommon.
Join us to learn how the worst alternative for consumers is not to take any of the solar options.
