This program is brought to you by our friends to the east:  Sacajawea Audubon Society!

To attend the Monday, December 14th Virtual Program, please register at: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/6519370989340301580

 Sacajawea Audubon Society and the Valley of Flowers chapter of Montana Native Plant Society are pleased to co-host a special holiday program featuring best-selling author and native landscaping advocate Doug Tallamy. Doug will discuss findings from his latest book Nature’s Best Hope and share simple steps that each of us can – and must – take to reverse declining biodiversity in our world.

Mr. Tallamy brings a new approach to conservation that starts in our own yards.  By landscaping with native plant communities that sustain food webs and biodiversity, we can enhance local ecosystems rather than degrade them.  If we do this in half of the area in America we now have in mowed lawns, we can create a new Home-grown National Park — a 20 million acre network of viable habitats that will provide vital corridors connecting the few natural areas that remain. 

ABOUT DOUG TALLAMY

Doug Tallamy is a professor in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware, where he has authored 104 research publications and has taught insect related courses for 40 years.  His book Bringing Nature Home: How Native Plants Sustain Wildlife in Our Gardens was published by Timber Press in 2007 and was awarded the 2008 Silver Medal by the Garden Writers’ Association. The Living Landscape, co-authored with Rick Darke, was published in 2014.
