Karen Newbern
Retail Nursery Supervisor
Door Landscape and Nursery
Karen has been a naturalist and environmental educator for over 30 years. She was the naturalist at Ridges Sanctuary in Baileys Harbor for 14 years. Currently she is the Retail Nursery Supervisor at Door Landscape and Nursery, a company specializing in native plants for home landscapes.
Attracting birds to a backyard takes more than filling a couple of bird feeders or adding a bird bath. Planting the appropriate native plants will provide all the habitat elements that wild birds need. Native plantings also require less water, fertilizer, and generally are easier to maintain. Karen will stress the benefits of native plantings for birds including trees, shrubs, and perennials. An added benefit will be the variety of birds visiting your backyard!

Kim Dietrich has been the Chief Naturalist at Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary for 30 years. She has a degree in Forestry from UW-Stevens Point. Kim enjoys working with animals and has had some great experiences with critters and people while at the sanctuary. She dreams of writing children’s books about nature. She loves to play in the dirt, spend time with her family, take long walks, and go camping in her free time.
Kim will be sharing personal stories as well as natural history information about a number of live, non-releasable animals who have come through the Wildlife Sanctuary’s rehabilitation program (RPAWS). Her 45-60 minutes presentation will afford time for viewing, touching some wildlife, and asking questions.
