"Your Yard, Their Home: Bee and Bird Houses" will be presented by Michele Gandy and Lou Schurter on Sunday, Nov. 1. With the help of ArcGIS technology and Mt. Cuba Center’s ongoing research into habitat restoration, find out which native bees and birds your landscape best supports. Discover how artificial nest boxes provide crucial habitats for these key members of our local ecosystems, then construct one and learn how to properly site and care for it at home. You’ll soon see that your yard becomes their new home.
Enjoy the holidays with a festive, long-lasting magnolia wreath, perfect for indoor or outdoor display, created in this class with Eileen Boyle and Duncan Himmelman. Start by making a circle of native magnolia leaves, embellish it with cones and colorful berries, and finish it with a decorative ribbon. Create an elegant accent piece for your home this season using sustainably harvested native plants. Bring hand pruners and gloves.
"Planting in a Post-Wild World: Designing Plant Communities for Resilient Landscapes" with Thomas Rainer and Claudia West will be the topic of program at Mt. Cuba Center on Wednesday, Nov. 4. We live in an increasingly globalized world where few wild places remain and nature has been relegated to isolated remnants of woodlands and wetlands. Now, more than ever, designers have the opportunity and responsibility to bring wildness and ecological value back into the landscape. This challenge requires a new form of planting design that works with natural principles and marries horticulture with ecology. The instructors, co-authors of Planting in a Post-Wild World, will bring a fresh approach to design, incorporating plant community-based strategies and the use of native plants to achieve the aesthetic and ecological goals of future landscapes.
Wednesday, November 4, 6-8 p.m.American artist and environmentalist Greg Mort will provide a lively lecture highlighting the history and influence of imagery and the role artists play as “Stewards of the Earth.”

We will be holding a Community Conversation on school safety on November 11 at 6:00 pm in the UHS cafeteria. In 2013, responding to the lessons learned from Sandy Hook, our community came together for our last Community Conversation on safety. A 27 point plan was adopted and implemented. Recent events (weapons found on campus) and the District's response to them, have generated a lot of conversation throughout the community. Its time to come together again, to review where we are and what else needs to be addressed as we remain ever vigilant about the safety of our children.
