On April 14 at 6:30 pm, we are excited to have Douglas Tallamy present via Zoom. Doug is the author of Bringing Nature Home: How Native Plants Sustain Wildlife in Our Gardens and Nature’s Best Hope – (available now on Amazon for Kindles for $1.99). He is a founder of the website Homegrown National Park – a grassroots call-to-action to restore biodiversity and ecosystem function by planting native plants and creating new ecological networks.Doug’s talk is titled: Nature’s Best Hope
Recent headlines about global insect declines and three billion fewer birds in North America are a bleak reality check about how ineffective our current landscape designs have been at sustaining the plants and animals that sustain us. Such losses are not an option if we wish to continue our current standard of living on Planet Earth. The good news is that none of this is inevitable. Tallamy will discuss simple steps that each of us can – and must – take to reverse declining biodiversity and will explain why we, ourselves, are nature’s best hope.
