Hometown Habitat- Stories of Bringing Nature Home- Film Screening
Save Pollinators. Save Water. Save the Earth.
Did you know that native plants do not require the use of herbicides and pesticides to maintain their beauty? That they don’t require extra watering from our supply of potable water? And that our native pollinators and birds also prefer native plants for nectaring and seed? The narrative thread of this eight-part documentary is provided by renowned entomologist Douglas Tallamy, Ph.D. whose research, books and lectures about the use of non-native plants in landscaping sound the alarm about habitat and species loss. This screening is part of our National Pollinator Week programs. Please register in advance.
