The BCAS-NJSEA Native Plant Day on May 15 was a great, fun and educational event that introduced people to the vital importance of native plants for pollinators, birds and the environment. The day also featured a talk by Bergen County Audubon Society President Don Torino on how to make your own backyard a Certified Wildlife Garden.
