SUMMARY:Beyond Flowering Plants: Helping Pollinators Thrive Year Round
DESCRIPTION:This talk includes a brief introduction to the biodiversity crisis\, explaining why providing habitat for pollinators is essential for maintaining a sustainable ecosystem. Amy will show that pollinators not only need flowering native plants as food for adults\, but also need specialized native plants that provide food for their young. You will learn about the kinds of shelter needed year round for pollinator health and reproduction\, and how to manage your landscape to provide it. Amy will also discuss the need for water and the importance of minimizing night light. She will share extensive resources on choosing and sourcing native plants and managing our landscapes to support biodiversity. Presented by Amy.

SUMMARY:Environmentally Friendly Lawns and Lawn Alternatives
DESCRIPTION:Lawns are ecological dead zones. 40 million acres are devoted to lawn in this country; the largest irrigated crop. Mowers emit at least 16 million tons of CO2 per year. At the same time millions of species are headed for extinction\, in large part due to habitat loss. So\, changing the way we manage lawns and/or reducing their size presents a huge opportunity both to save species and address global warming- right in your own yard! This talk covers many ideas on how to convert your lawn to an ecological benefit. Presented by Heidi.
