Homegrown National Park with Professor Doug Tallamy

Join us at the library or virtually to meet author and professor Douglas Tallamy.  He is an American entomologist, ecologist and conservationist and currently a professor in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware. He has written and co-authored several books including Nature's Best Hope: A New Approach to Conservation that Starts in Your Yard, and Bringing Nature Home: How Native Plants Sustain Wildlife in Our Gardens.  

Our parks, preserves, and remaining wildlands are too small to sustain all lives our ecosystems depend. We can fix this problem through Homegrown National Park: a national challenge to create diverse ecosystems by reducing lawn, planting native, and removing invasives. The goal is to create a national movement to restore 20 million acres with natives and millions more acres in agriculture and woodlots. If many people make small changes, we can restore healthy ecological networks.

Join the conversation virtually by registering for the event to receive the link.  You can also join us at the library where we will be moderating the conversation live!  This event is part of our Climate Savvy Citizen Series that is ongoing through the year.
