Los Osos Valley Garden Club presents “Gardening for the Birds: Return of the Natives” with John Chestnut. Mr. Chestnut will explore the habitat value of Dune Natives and share A Habitat Restoration Recipe for Success. Mr. Chesnut approaches habitat restoration by mixing fundamental ecological processes and food webs with the hands-on experience earned by decades of practice in habitat restoration throughout California. This presentation will highlight important plant-bird relationships in the dune ecosystem. Explore, as a case study, Morro Coast Audubon's coastal dune habitat restoration: a repeatable approach for bird habitat restoration at multiple scales!
