Watching birds come and go from our yards lowers our blood pressure. It’s a peaceful, soothing activity for the cold winter months.  Providing the proper seeds, feeders, nestboxes, birdbaths, berry-producing shrubs and flowers improves the lives of the birds as well.

Join UT Arboretum education coordinator, Michelle Campanis, and naturalist/author, Stephen Lyn Bales,  for “Creating a Bird-friendly Yard” and learn how to keep your backyard birds happy and healthy throughout 2025!

The January First Thursday Nature Supper Club presentation is hosted by the UT Arboretum Society. The program scheduled for January 2 will be pre-recorded and sent to everyone who registers to watch at their convenience, 

Please contact Michelle at mcampani@utk.edu for any questions or registration issues.
