The Oak Ridge Bird Man & Tennessee Smart Yards

What does it take to create a yard that’s healthy for both wildlife and humans?

Join Lucas Coe-Starr as he details how to make your yard into a haven for wildlife – specifically, our feathered friends.

You probably know Lucas as the “Oak Ridge Bird Man,” a regular attendee of the Winter Farmers’ Market He creates unique bird feeders and houses with his 3-D printers; he also sells bird-attracting blends of seed, suet, and other feeds, as well as offering his expertise in ecologically-focused landscape design.

Lucas’s Oak Ridge yard has recently been designated a Tennessee Smart Yard, a yard “that is in balance with the local environment for the benefit of both people and our ecosystem.” He’ll talk about what that means and how you can create the same type of yard in your neck of the woods.
