Nature’s Best Hope: Madison "Noon Zoom"

This "Noon Zoom" webinar was presented by Dr. Douglas Tallamy, T.A. Baker Professor of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at University of Delaware, and best-selling author of Nature’s Best Hope, Bringing Nature Home and The Nature of Oaks.
Municipal land use practices, including park and field maintenance, shade tree management, and zoning and planning decisions, have tremendous power to help or harm our environment, and public health, long-term. In this talk, specifically geared to municipal employees and decision-makers, Dr. Tallamy explains why rethinking - and shrinking - turf grass areas can provide immediate ecological, air quality, and stormwater benefits. Hear how you and your team can take an approach to conservation that empowers our town to play a significant role in reversing steep declines in bird and insect populations that have occurred in recent decades, and in supporting the plants, animals, and insects that sustain us.
