Conservation starts at home! Learn how to transform your corner of the earth into an ecofriendly haven for native flora and fauna. We'll cover how ecosystems work, habitat resiliency, climate change, invasive species, biodiversity, and the ecological importance of human managed landscapes. You'll leave with the ability to read your landscape and select and maintain plants for long-term ecosystem health.
Now you too can create a wildlife sanctuary at your home; perfect for beginning and experienced gardeners. Each topic will include an online presentation, two weeks to complete optional activities, and a follow-up session for discussion and questions before the next presentation.
April 4 & April 18: Ecosystems, Landscapes, & Climate Change
April 18 & May 9: What is a Healthy Ecosystem?
May 9 & May 23: How to Build and Maintain a Healthy Ecosystem
Additional opportunities: Interested participants will be invited to help install a garden applying the principles of the course at Habitat Education Center and Wildlife Sanctuary in Belmont. If interested please feel free to contact Calvin Fisher at [email protected]
