After my yard was certified as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat by the National Wildlife Federation\, I began to refocus my approach to gardening by applying their principals. As a result\, my backyard has been featured in the October 2006 issue of Alabama Gardener magazine\, included in the 2007 Huntsville garden tour sponsored by the Huntsville Botanical Garden\, and has been the basis for numerous workshops and presentations over the past ten years. \nI have taught workshops at the Huntsville Botanical Garden\, Osher Life Long Learning Institute at the University of Alabama Huntsville\, and LearningQUEST; and have given numerous presentations and tours to groups across North Alabama as well as the Audubon societies in Birmingham (AL) and Rockland (NY). I am an Honorary Master Gardener and serve as an instructor teaching the techniques of backyard habitat development to the Master Gardener training classes for Limestone\, Madison\, and Morgan Counties. \nIn 2013\, I led the development and design for a local birding trail map in Madison County sponsored by the Huntsville/Madison County Convention and Visitors Bureau. I also serve as a volunteer docent and shuttle driver at the Huntsville Botanical Garden\, and assisted the Garden in developing the Lewis Birding Trail within the Garden. My wife\, Terry\, and I travel extensively and have expanded bird watching interests from the backyard to many locations throughout the U.S. and foreign countries.” \n\n \n\n\n\n \n \n \n\n\n\n\n\n \n Add to calendar \n\n\n\n \n Google Calendar \n \n\n \n iCalendar \n \n\n \n Outlook 365 \n \n\n \n Outlook Live URL:https://hvilleblast.com/event/member-exclusive-spring-bird-walk/ LOCATION:Huntsville Botanical Garden\, 4747 Bob Wallace Ave SW\, Huntsville\, AL\, 35805\, United States CATEGORIES:Events,Members Only ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://hvilleblast.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Fall-Bird-Walk-lkPEp7.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20251007T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20251007T090000 DTSTAMP:20260505T223643 CREATED:20250916T045738Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251007T154534Z UID:10016059-1759824000-1759827600@hvilleblast.com SUMMARY:Member Exclusive: Early Access Tuesdays DESCRIPTION:@ \n \n \n\n\n\nEarly Access Tuesdays\nTuesdays | May–October | 8:00–9:00 a.m. \nStart your morning surrounded by the peaceful beauty of the Garden.
