Doug Tallamy – Nature’s Best Hope

Beaver Creek Wetlands Association invites you to attend a presentation by native plant enthusiast, Doug Tallamy. He is a renowned professor, entomologist, and author who stresses that the ability to restore biodiversity is in our hands. His grassroots call to action of planting native plant species, regenerates biodiversity and creates new ecological networks.

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.  Such losses are not an option if we wish to continue our current standard of living on Planet Earth. The good news is that none of this is inevitable. Choosing the right plants for our landscapes will not only address the biodiversity crisis but help fight our climate crisis as well. Tallamy will discuss simple steps that each of us can- and must- take to reverse declining biodiversity, why we must change our adversarial relationship with nature to a collaborative one, and why we, ourselves, are nature’s best hope.
