In addition to getting home habitat tips, you will also receive a packet of native plant seeds to help develop your wildlife-friendly space.   Registration for this program is $2 per person. Advance registration is limited and required by Sunday, January 25th. To sign up, please visit https://www.ticketleap.events/events/elkhart-environmental-center   Recommended for ages 12+
