Shade-grown coffee and chocolate play an important role in saving critical wintering habitat in the tropics of central and South America for many of our summering birds, while keeping traditional bird-friendly methods of growing coffee and cocoa beans economically feasible. These birds include many of our most colorful songbirds including Rose-breasted Grosbeak, Baltimore Orioles, Indigo Buntings, Ruby-throated Hummingbirds and various thrushes, vireos and warblers.
Learn all about these uniquely grown products as you enjoy a cup of coffee and a chocolate treat during an indoor program, Coffee & Chocolate: The Benefits of Shade-Grown Products, on Sunday, December 3rd, from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at The West Woods Nature Center.
Discussion will also touch on the details of creating a local coffee club to purchase this coffee at a discount.
