CHPT Booth at Earth Day Fest in Charlton
Date: April 27, 2024 from 11 am - 2 pm
Location: Charlton Town Common

Charlton Heritage Preservation Trust invites you to visit our booth on the Charlton Town Common during the Earth Day Festival on Saturday, April 27 from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. Please stop by to pick up some wildflower seeds and enter to win a black-capped chickadee stained glass ornament. This is a great time to learn about the 200 acres we have protected and the trails that are available for public use. We'll also have information on a presentation we will be sponsoring at the library (May 17 - see below!) on landscaping your yard's borders to improve aesthetics, attract wildlife and create foraging possibilities. We hope to see you there and thank you for helping clean up Charlton.

Landscape Border Bounties - The Power of Planting for Wildlife and Wellbeing
Date: May 17, 2024 from 7pm to 8pm
Cost: Free (Donations gratefully accepted)
Location: Dexter Hall, Charlton Public Library
Presenters: Nate Fournier and Lucy Smith of Reimagined Roots

Program Summary: Habitat borders attract and support some of the widest diversities of birds, insects and animals. Planned plantings along borders between woods and lawns ease the aesthetic transition, while benefiting the local fauna. Landowners can take advantage of the beauty of flowering trees, bushes and plants while being able to forage some fresh fruit and berries for themselves. Nate and Lucy will walk you through the benefits of border landscaping and some strategies that can be put to use in your own yard.
