Guide Helps Gardeners Attract Hummers
 Sue Reel, a wildlife educator with the Lolo National Forest in Montana, created Attracting Hummingbirds to Your Garden Using Native Plants. The 16-page guide encourages gardeners to Think Diversity, Think Chemical Free, and Think a Little Messy, among other tips for growing a successful garden for hummingbirds. It also describes 4 species of hummingbirds and provides planning tips for gardens.
The guide will be available for purchase soon, but in the meantime, you can read it online.

Trail is for the Hummingbirds
 Some visitors to The State Botanical Garden of Georgia had never noticed hummingbirds until a walk along the Hummingbird Trail introduced them to these feisty birds. The Trail has 20 stops to highlight places where hummingbirds are likely to be seen. A Hummingbird Trail brochure leads visitors to these sites.
The Trail is a wonderful example of how gardens and other public facilities may provide habitat for hummingbirds and share the world of hummingbirds with visitors.
