Presque Isle Audubon Workshop
Understanding the Impacts of Chemicals on our Environment
Saturday, March 12, 2005 — 8:30AM to 5:00PM
Pennsylvania State University at Erie: The Behrend Campus
Reed Union Building

Most of us choose to live a healthy lifestyle which includes both our indoor and outdoor environments. Putting together the components to make this happen are not complex - especially, when you have an Audubon workshop to show you the way. We will share with you how to landscape and enjoy a natural ecosystem at home and work. We will address at-home composting and grasscycling! Have you been wondering about the impact of chemicals on garden bees, dragonflies, birds, and aquatic life? Interested in organic food, farming, and landscaping? We’ll share what the "Great Lakes restoration" is and how it impacts you. Our expert guest speakers will share their knowledge and answer your questions during the morning and afternoon workshops with exciting and educational exhibits on these topics.
