SUMMARY:Collin County February Meeting - Ecology and Beauty: Creating a Landscape that Welcomes Wildlife and People (Online only)
DESCRIPTION:Note: Speakers handout is available for download: https://www.naturesactionguide.org/ecology \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOur February 3 chapter meeting will be online only via Zoom. The speaker is Sarah F. Jayne – she is an environmentalist\, educator\, and wildlife advocate. Her book “Nature’s Action Guide: How to Support Biodiversity and Your Local Ecosystem” is a companion to Doug Tallamy’s “Nature’s Best Hope: A New Approach to Conservation That Starts in Your Yard” and features 15 urgent actions to support biodiversity. \n\n\n\nPresentation Summary\n\n\n\nNow more than ever our yards and community spaces need to support biodiversity. How can we ensure that our spaces are both ecologically rich and beautiful? We’ll look at which plants matter most when it comes to your local biodiversity; how to procure them for generous plantings; and how to place them to increase their appeal to wildlife and people\, along with strategies to protect the wildlife our natural plantings attract. We’ll consider strategies to ensure that our landscapes gain community acceptance such that they become invitations for others to transform their landscapes. A cost-conscious\, DIY approach makes taking action doable. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Bio \n\n\n\nSarah’s work has been featured in The Joe Gardener Show\, A Way to Garden podcast\, Homegrown National Park\, and the New York Times. She is a member of the Homegrown National Park Speaker Bureau and has contributed excerpts of her book\, Nature’s Action Guide\, to the Homegrown National Park’s “Get Started Planting Native”. \n\n\n\nTo Join Our Meetings\n\n\n\nThis is an online-only meeting via Zoom.
