Natural Communities Webinar: Serviceberry

Natural Communities Webinar: Serviceberry
Led by Andrew Tufts

Serviceberry marks a key seasonal transition in Maine, blooming as migratory birds and pollinators arrive. This webinar examines serviceberry’s role in forest edges, open woodlands, and rocky landscapes, and how these ecologically rich habitats support biodiversity. Participants will also learn how edge communities translate into parks, trails, and residential landscapes.

Natural Communities & Seasonal Change is a three-part spring learning series that combines monthly webinars with guided field experiences to explore Maine’s native plant communities through the lens of seasonal phenology. The series focuses on how native trees and shrubs signal ecological change, support wildlife, and shape both natural and human landscapes. Participants will build skills in observation, plant identification, and reading the landscape as spring unfolds.
