Program on migrating and overwintering birds

Penn State Extension Master Gardeners of Delaware County is holding a two-part presentation that will speak to the habitat that supports migrating or overwintering birds and provide an in-depth look at the diet of local and migrating birds, according to a press release.

In the first hour, Marcy Engleman of the Audubon Society will discuss how to plant a garden to attract and support birds throughout the winter so that they have a habitat where they can rest and refuel during their migration or where they can settle in for the winter.

During the second hour, Ben Labovitz, owner of the Wild Birds Unlimited store in Havertown, will share his knowledge of our local birds’ favorite foods, explain how to attract them all winter long, and how to keep these birds happy so they stay around in spring and summer to eat the insects we don’t enjoy!

The presentation is Nov. 11 from 10 a.m. to noon in the Smedley Park Environmental Center, 20 Paper Mill Road, Springfield.

The cost is $10. To learn more about the session and register: 877-345-0691 or visit the Penn State Extension website: https://extension.psu.edu/second-saturday-gardening-series-birds-in-winter.

Traveling glass recycle bin to make 6-day appearance in U.D.

Pennsylvania Resources Council’s Traveling Glass Bin Program is piloting an expansion to the southeastern region of the state beginning with an October engagement in Delaware County.

“Since scheduling the first bin appearance in Allegheny County three-plus years ago, PRC and partners have collected 4,000 tons of glass to become new bottles, jars and jugs,” according to . “We’re excited this fall to introduce the recycling opportunity to residents of Delaware County as a pilot program to gather data to enable us to expand the program across the state,” PRC Executive Director Darren Spielman said, in a press release.

Throughout the remainder of the year, PRC will schedule several source-separated glass recycling bin “pop ups” in the southeastern region. Residents will find the first blue recycling bin appearance Oct. 21 to 26 in Naylors Run Park in Upper Darby Township.

Throughout the six-day engagement, individuals can drop off glass bottles, jars and jugs of all colors (no color sorting required) daily from 7 a.m. to sundown. Containers should be empty and rinsed, with lids and labels still on. Bags and boxes used to deliver glass must be discarded off-site.

PRC launched its glass recycling campaign in 2019 with a series of pop-up events in response to the elimination of glass in numerous curbside programs.
