Hedgerow Workshop: Natural Pest Management

Hedgerow Workshop: Natural Pest Management using Native Plants in the Landscape

Discover how hedgerows can transform your yard or garden into a thriving, self-regulating ecosystem that naturally manages pests while supporting local wildlife by providing essential food, shelter, and connectivity for beneficial insects and pest-eating birds. Through a combination of a virtual learning session with Maine Audubon staff and hands-on fieldwork at Rogers Farm Demonstration Garden, participants will gain practical experience in plant and site selection, proper installation techniques, and ongoing maintenance strategies. Whether you’re looking to reduce your reliance on chemical pest control or create vital habitat corridors in your community, this workshop will equip you with the knowledge and skills to design and establish hedgerows that benefit both your garden and the environment.
