Nature’s Best Hope (Canada)
Recent headlines about global insect declines and three billion fewer breeding 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. Trees are the most powerful plants, and to create landscapes that enhance local ecosystems rather than degrade them, we must add the plant communities that sustain food webs, sequester carbon, maintain diverse native bee communities, and manage our watersheds. Native plants do all of these things better than plants from other continents. If we do this on our private properties, we can create Homegrown National Park, a network of viable habitats that will provide vital corridors connecting the natural areas that remain. This approach to conservation empowers everyone to play a significant role in the future of the natural world and thus our own future.
Doug Tallamy's talk is made possible by the Bob Keith Education Fund at the University of Guelph Arboretum (with in-kind sponsorship by the Delta Hotel Guelph)
Doug Tallamy, T. A. Baker Professor of Agriculture in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware.
There are two kinds of tickets available— in-person tickets at the OAC Centennial Arboretum Centre (only 200 seats) and online tickets, via the Arboretum Zoom account (495 online tickets available). Tickets are the same price, $10. All proceeds support The Arboretum's educational programming for future National Forest Week events.
