The Sierra Club - Lancaster Group invites the public to view a Zoom presentation at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, April 21. The presentation will focus on the importance of making backyards environmentally friendly to wildlife. There is no charge to participate.

The speaker will be Linda Ferich, a Pennsylvania Master Naturalist and certified Chesapeake Bay Landscape Professional. Her talk will be based on the Community Wildlife Habitat Initiative of the Lancaster Conservancy, a partnership with the National Wildlife Federation, which she launched in 2017.

Ferich, who enjoys studying native plants and designing ecological gardens, also is a co-coordinator of the Lancaster Conservancy's Water Quality Volunteer Coalition for the Lancaster County Conservation District. Before becoming fully involved with environmental matters, she had a long career in emergency and occupational health nursing.
