Stewarding God’s Creation

DPC’s Earth Care Team presents a three-part series titled Stewarding God’s Creation which offers information about a variety of topics as well as simple tips that can help you live a more environmentally conscious lifestyle.

Part II

On October 20, we gather on the bridge to consider “What’s the Buzz About Biodiversity?” Together we explore and download an app that helps identify bird songs, learn how to make your garden not only beautiful but a habitat for plant populations, wildlife communities and even soil organisms, and take home a birdseed giveaway! There is also a special Kids Corner with space for our young environmentalists to learn and grow.

Below is a list of informational graphics, posters, and web resources that will enhance these in-person experiences.
