Bill will discuss the importance of native plants and how we can incorporate them into our own landscapes. Additionally, we will reflect on our successes in 2019 and what we plan to accomplish in 2020. The public is encouraged and welcomed to attend. We hope to see you there!

There is a special wetland here in North Oakland County that supports a tiny butterfly called the Poweshiek Skipperling. NOHLC has kicked off a campaign to preserve the special and rare fen habitat it calls home. With less than 100 individuals left, it is up to us to give this federally-endangered butterfly a fighting chance! Beautiful and important to the survival of vast amounts of life, you will be helping to forever save this gem that is in your backyard.
