An Evening with Douglas Tallamy

National best-selling author and entomologist Doug Tallamy(Nature's Best Hope) will join us at the Wildish Theater for an engaging presentation about the role we can each play in preserving biodiversity with ecological landscaping choices in our home and backyard environments.

Doug describes his presentation this way: "Nearly every day I get emails from people who have read my books and heard my talks and yet still have questions about ecological landscaping. These are good, thoughtful questions about ecology and evolution, biodiversity, invasive species, insect declines, native and non-native plants, conservation and restoration, residential and city landscapes, urban issues, oak biology, keystone plants, Homegrown National Park, monarchs, supporting wildlife at home, and more.

In this talk I address as many of these queries as I can with hope that my answers will further motivate people to help restore ecosystem function where they live, work, play, worship, and farm."

This event is presented by the Upper Willamette Soil & Water Conservation District in partnership with the Eugene Bird City Coalition.

Doors open at 5:30 PM - come early to learn about local programs and opportunities to enhance your home and backyard habitat for the benefit of local wildlife. Program begins at 6:30 PM and ends at 8:00.

Tickets are $15.
