As the calendar pages flutter towards the end of the year, nestled in the heart of Northwest Arkansas, the Rogers Public Library is all set to host an event that is as informative as it is timely. The "2nd Tuesday Lunch & Learn," slated for October 8, 2024, promises to be a delightful treat not only for the mind but also for the heart of nature enthusiasts and animal lovers alike.

Lauren Eno, the Education Director for Wild Birds Unlimited, is ready to chirp away with her wealth of knowledge about our feathered friends and other critters as they prep for the cooler months ahead. At a time when the leaves are trading their verdant hues for lavish golds and fiery reds, learning about the dramatic yet fascinating changes in the wildlife becomes an autumn ritual not to be missed.

Lauren will fly attendees through the fascinating ways birds and other animals adapt to the changing environment. She will spread her wings to cover a range of topics, including 'critter solutions' — which sounds particularly intriguing — and the role of native plants in supporting local wildlife.

This educational event is not just for absorbing facts; it's also about inspiring action. It is a gentle nudge to help the audience understand how they can play an active role in ensuring the survival and prosperity of local fauna through the brisk fall and the frosty winter.

Those who cannot join in person or those snug at home, nestled under a cozy blanket, can still be part of this enriching experience. By visiting the Rogers Public Library's YouTube channel, they can catch every detail and perhaps even catch a glimpse of Lauren's passion for nature, which is sure to be as contagious as the fall foliage is vibrant.
