It’s a Woodpecker Pizza Party at DeGraaf Nature Center, Holland, MI

It’s time for a Woodpecker Pizza Party at Holland’s DeGraaf Nature Center on Saturday, November 22nd at 2 p.m. This program will begin with a brief overview of the kinds of woodpeckers we have in our area. Woodpeckers love suet or animal fats, mixed with seeds and other ingredients. At this Woodpecker Pizza Party participants will create a “crust” of suet and then put on toppings made of a variety of tasty treats for woodpeckers. When done, it will be ready to cut a slice to set outside for a woodpecker feast. Fee: $5 per pizza. Please call 616-355-1057 to register.

The DeGraaf Nature Center is located at 600 Graafschap Road in Holland. For More information on their programs and a map to the facility go to www.degraaf.org
