Do you like birdwatching? Which tree is best for collecting honey? Interested in identifying bird, bee, and urban tree relationships? Dive deep into the connections, benefits, and functions of birds, bees, and urban trees within urban forestry ecosystems. We will explore the effects urban sprawl or "heat islands" have on birds and urban forests. Plus: buy honey from some local farmers!
