“Fall Landscaping for Birds,” the first in the series of 10 classes in “Backyard Birding,” is from 10 a.m.-noon Saturday, Oct. 8, at the Dungeness River Audubon Center, 2151 W. Hendrickson Road, Sequim.

Joe Holtrop, executive director of the Clallam Conservation District, will present important aspects of a bird-friendly yard, including food, water and shelter, with emphasis on the use of plants native to this area. The series of classes, hosted by members of the Olympic Peninsula Audubon Society, is intended for residents of this area who are interested in knowing more about birds seen locally each season of the year and learning how to develop good habitats for wild birds. “Backyard Birding” can be taken either as individual classes or in a series. The cost of each session is $5 and is free for anyone younger than 18.

After the completion of five sessions, participants will be offered free membership in OPAS for one year.
