#MaineAudubon Webinar - #Serviceberry
Wednesday May 6, 5:30-7 pm
Led by Andrew TuftsFree program, donations encouraged. Registration required.
"Serviceberry marks a key seasonal transition in Maine, blooming as migratory #birds and #pollinators arrive. This webinar examines serviceberry’s role in forest edges, open woodlands, and rocky landscapes, and how these ecologically rich habitats support #biodiversity. Participants will also learn how edge communities translate into parks, trails, and residential landscapes.
Natural Communities & Seasonal Change is a three-part spring learning series that combines monthly webinars with guided field experiences to explore #Maine’s #NativePlant communities through the lens of seasonal #phenology. The series focuses on how #NativeTrees and shrubs signal ecological change, support #wildlife, and shape both natural and human landscapes. Participants will build skills in observation, #PlantIdentification, and reading the landscape as spring unfolds."

Red Flowering Currant (Ribes sanguineum) This plant has been pushing flowers since early January and is one of many of this species that we have at the house. Planted around our city lot, the flowering season is extended by sun exposure and micro climate that prolongs forage for insects and hummingbirds. This is on the south side of the house and is the first to bloom.

"#NativePlant corridors attract #pollinators and #wildlife to your farm by stretching across your property to connect your piece of #NativeHabitat to nearby #meadows, #wetlands or #woodlands. This creates a much larger area for #NativePollinators to #forage, raise young and migrate. Corridors may run along a road, between fields, in a #swale or on the edge of a #forest, connecting habitats off the property and returning native plants to the parts of the farm not suitable for traditional crops.
This article describes two approaches to creating native habitat corridors: changing #mowing habits to favor native species, and planting woody and herbaceous combinations to increase native plant diversity on the farm.
Populations of all native species are in decline across the state. Our human footprint is taking its toll on wild creatures, including pollinators such as #bees and #butterflies that are so important on the farm for crop pollination. Native plant species each share an evolutionary history with indigenous insects, birds, reptiles, mammals, bacteria and fungi. When native plants are gone, many of these creatures go too, leading to a collapse of ecosystem function. Farmers benefit from the services provided by a healthy ecosystem, such as groundwater recharge; clean surface streams and ponds; pollination; a diversity of birds, spiders and amphibians to eat many insects including crop pests; and beneficial soil fungi and bacteria. Fortunately, when native plants are reintroduced into a landscape, many of these other creatures return.
As farmers and landowners, we can bring native plants, and the attendant diversity, back into the Maine landscape in a way that works with a farmer’s busy schedule. Many native plants thrive in dry, wet and shady areas that are poor sites for traditional farm crops."

This is fireweed, a rather glorious #NativePlant that appears in profusion in my yard each year. It's taller than you are! I've read that parts of it are edible, so I'm going to try some nibbles to see if it might become a part of my salads.

Excerpt from "How to make your yard a friendlier place for #pollinators"
#Pollination doesn't only produce more plants – it also helps make fruits and vegetables larger, more abundant, and even more flavorful.
by Abby Jackson, January 22, 2024
The Cool Down [#US-based publication]How to Support Pollinators in Your Yard
"Plants are the foundation for every living thing on our planet, and without pollination, plants would be unable to reproduce and our food supply would be at risk.
"Here are a few things you can do to support their safety and protect our food resources for years to come:
- Avoid #pesticides, #herbicides, and synthetic #fertilizers as much as possible.
- Choose flowering plants that produce pollen and nectar, that are native to your area, and that support a variety of pollinators. Avoid hybrid plant varieties, as they've been bred specifically for aesthetics and may have unattractive nectar.
- You can use the #NationalWildlifeFederation's #NativePlant finder to discover plants in your area that attract pollinators. The #AudubonSociety has a similar search that identifies native plants in your area that attract birds.
- Follow seasonal changes and diversify your yard with plants that bloom at different times of the year for year-round blooms.
- Remove #InvasivePlants and weeds when possible.
- Provide a hydration station. Birdbaths are hazards for many pollinators because they can easily drown in them and because they are preyed on by other animals. Filling a shallow bowl with pebbles or marbles to a low water level will allow pollinators to drink while sitting on a perch. [I do create "bee baths" with marbles and rocks. I will be very cautious if I decide to provide "bird baths" this summer]
- Provide nesting sides, like a #BeeHouse. [Old logs can be good for some bees]
- Use certain plants strictly as food for the larvae of pollinators to ensure they will have enough energy to grow and frequent your yard. For example, #MonarchCaterpillars [and #TussockMothLarvae] love to eat #milkweed, and #BlackSwallowtailCaterpillars feed on #parsley [I did not know this! I will provide some parsley for their consumption this year!]
"#Rewilding your yard with native plants and #clovers, designating a garden bed to attract pollinators, or even having a pollinator-friendly plant in a pot on your #balcony are other ways you can make your area a friendlier space for pollinators.
"Any action that helps pollinators is a positive action that benefits you and the animals and nature around you."

#Hardhack aka #RoseSpirea - #SpiraeaDouglasii
#NativePlant in #PacificNorthwest regions. We've used this plant at several habitat/ecological restoration areas - across Southern #VancouverIsland. It is an excellent plant for riparian revegetation & pollinators love their bright pink, tiny flowers too.
#PNW #Indigenous peoples use the plant for making brooms & for hanging seafood to cook.
It grows in almost any soil conditions, even very dry & gravelly soil but prefers boggy/wet areas.

Making some elderberry juice. I threw in some green apples that fell from the tree.
I got going in the outer reaches of the yard what I call assisted #foraging. I plant some native food plants, water them enough to get them going, and then let them be on their own to grow and reseed. The current list of native edible berries and nuts:
#elderberry
#toyon
#goldencurrant
#mahonia
#Catalina_cherry
#manzanita
#lemonade_berry
#blackberry
#acorn
#PineNuts
#mesquite
It's a #NativePlant #foodforest

#WesternAster aka #PacificAster is a pretty #NativePlant #NativeWildflower & fab for #rewilding. It's also used in #environmental restoration work; it's been proven to absorb #selenium pollution.
Cold tolerant, hardy from sea to mountain elevations & will grow in poor soil.

Today I'm cleaning the seeds for Lance-leaved coreopsis / tickseed (Coreopsis lanceolata). This #NativePlant is yellow and drought tolerant.
I've never collected seeds from this particular plant before; instead I bought them.
Now I know that, generally speaking, if seedheads are brown and dried, the seeds can be harvested. You can collect seeds without being a nursery "professional" and they will grow.
