All

the Department of Energy & Environmental Protection Wildlife Division's
Sessions Woods Conservation Education Center in Burlington! Beginning at 12:30

dessert extravaganza! At 1:00 p.m., the Friends of Sessions Woods will conduct
a brief, 10-minute business meeting to elect officers before the featured

biologist, will provide an interesting and informative program on using native
plants to benefit wildlife. He also will talk about plans to develop a rain
garden at Sessions Woods. Special guests, Lisa and Kyle Turcozi from Earth Tones Native Plant Nursery, will be on hand to answer
your questions about the wide variety of native shrubs and plants, including
flowering plants that attract hummingbirds and butterflies, that will be
available for sale. Earth Tones Native Plant Nursery was recently selected by
Yankee Magazine as the Best Native Nursery. Please pre-register for this FREE
