SUMMARY:Homegrown National Park
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an illustrated talk by Doug Tallamy\, founder of Homegrown National Park whose goal is to create a national movement to restore 20 million acres with natives\, an area representing ½ of what is now in lawn\, as well as millions more acres in agriculture and woodlots.\nWHEN: Sunday\, July 20\, 2025\nTIME: 4 p.m.\nPLACE: In-person at the F.I. Theater and virtual via zoom\nReception to follow. \nJoin Zoom WebinarOur parks\, preserves\, and remaining wildlands – no matter how grand in scale – are too small and separated from one another to sustain the native trees\, plants\, insects\, and animals on which our ecosystems depend. We can fix this problem by practicing conservation outside of wildlands\, where we live\, work\, shop\, farm\, and ranch. Thus\, the concept for Homegrown National Park: a national challenge to create diverse ecosystems in our yards\, communities\, farms\, and surrounding lands by reducing lawn\, planting native\, and removing invasives. \nWe are at a critical point where we are losing so many native plant and animal species that our life support systems are in jeopardy. However\, if many people make small changes\, we can restore healthy ecological networks and weather the changes ahead. \nDoug Tallamy is the T. A. Baker Professor of Agriculture in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware\, where he has authored 115 research publications and has taught insect related courses for 45 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. His books include Bringing Nature Home\, The Living Landscape\, co-authored with Rick Darke\, Nature’s Best Hope\, a New York Times Best Seller\, The Nature of Oaks\, winner of the American Horticultural Society’s 2022 book award\, and his latest How Can I Help. In 2021 he cofounded Homegrown National Park with Michelle Alfandari. His awards include recognition from The Garden Writer’s Association\, Audubon\, The National Wildlife Federation\, Allegheny College\, Ecoforesters\, The Garden Club of America\, The Herb Society\, and The American Horticultural Association. \nThis event is co-hosted with Fishers Island Conservancy.\nJoin from PC\, Mac\, iPad\, or Android:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/88410117213 \nPhone one-tap:\n+16469313860\,\,88410117213# US\n+16465588656\,\,88410117213# US (New York) \nJoin via audio:\n+1 646 931 3860 US\n+1 646 558 8656 US (New York)\n+1 312 626 6799 US (Chicago)\n+1 301 715 8592 US (Washington DC)\n+1 305 224 1968 US\n+1 309 205 3325 US\n+1 253 205 0468 US\n+1 253 215 8782 US (Tacoma)\n+1 346 248 7799 US (Houston)\n+1 360 209 5623 US\n+1 386 347 5053 US\n+1 507 473 4847 US\n+1 564 217 2000 US\n+1 669 444 9171 US\n+1 669 900 9128 US (San Jose)\n+1 689 278 1000 US\n+1 719 359 4580 US\nWebinar ID: 884 1011 7213\nInternational numbers available: https://us02web.zoom.us/u/kcdabsjFqg
