“Spring Landscaping for Birds,” the seventh in the series of nine classes in Backyard Birding, is from 10 a.m.-noon Saturday, April 9, at the Dungeness River Audubon Center, 2151 W. Hendrickson Road, Sequim.

Joe Holtrop, executive director of the Clallam Conservation District, will present important aspects of a bird friendly yard, including food, water and shelter, with emphasis on the use of plants native to this area.

There will be an optional field trip (a two-mile hike at the Dungeness Recreation Area) to see native plants and where they are growing, following the class.

There is a $5 fee for each class for those over 18.

After five sessions are attended, a free one-year membership in OPAS will be offered to participants.
