Ornithology & Garden Design Across Scales:
A Professional Program at the Cape May Point Science Center
Whether on residential, commercial, or public lands, wildlife habitat has become part and parcel of an increasing number of landscape projects. That said, habitat creation must jibe with the practical, cultural, and aesthetic needs of your clients. This intensive program will include two days of classroom and field exploration that simultaneously explore the integration of ecology & wildlife habitat with garden aesthetics & human experience. Join us during peak migration season in Cape May Point, one of North America’s premier birding and lepidoptera hotspots - where presenters from the fields of ecology, ornithology, and garden design will explore the integration of these distinct but highly related disciplines.

“Always good to be out in the field ‘seeing’ the landscape through an ecologically technical lens and hear the successes and lessons learned from practical experience.”
“That was so valuable! The specifics were awesome, like traits of individual plants & design ideas (combinations & plants that tolerate each other in space & time). Specifics on species’ seed germination were wonderful!”
“This program really spoke to me. It addressed many issues I come across and inspired me to continue my work in this way.”
“Excellent as always!”

Exit Zero Jazz Festival
We are excited to share that the Exit Zero Jazz Festival will run from Oct. 25 - 27, 2024 in Cape May, NJ (the same weekend as our program). This is simply an added bonus to your trip to Cape May!

“This festival is a 3-day musical feast featuring hundreds of musicians and thousands of visitors.
Each night, the musical feast continues with Fest shows in the bars and restaurants of Cape May. You might find yourself one minute second-lining to a New Orleans brass band, and, in the next, snaking through town behind a 22-piece Brazilian drum bloco. The joy of the Exit Zero Jazz Festival is in the discovery of incredible music and musicians you may never have known existed.”
The Exit Zero Jazz Festival debuted in November 2012 in the national historic landmark city of Cape May, a picturesque beach town on the very southern tip of New Jersey. The Festival takes place twice a year, Spring and Autumn, in the shoulder tourist seasons of Cape May.
