Recent headlines about global insect declines and three billion fewer 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.
Join Pickering Creek Audubon Center on March 15th as Dr. Doug Tallamy discusses simple steps that each of us can take to reverse declining biodiversity and explain why we, ourselves, are nature's best hope.
His newest book and New York Times bestseller, Nature’s Best Hope shows how homeowners everywhere can turn their yards into conservation corridors that provide wildlife habitats. Because this approach relies on the initiatives of private individuals, it is immune from the whims of government policy. Even more important, it’s practical, effective, and can be done in your own backyard.
About the Author: Doug Tallamy, professor in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware, has authored 104 research publications and has taught insect related courses for 40 years. Chief among his research goals is to better understand the many ways insects interact with plants and how such interactions determine the diversity of animal communities.
