We have long admired the work of Roger Tory Peterson and will look at how he used design, as well as art, to advocate for conservation.
It has been said that if you compared the average American lawn to a desert, the desert would win easily with much greater life and species diversity. Keeping up a lawn is both a chore for you and harmful to all flora and fauna in the area. So join us to learn how to make your yard a haven for native and migrating wildlife.
During the workshop, you learn how design has helped further conservation. You will also discover how your landscape choices as a homeowner can improve the health of our communities and provide essential pollinator pathways. You will leave the workshop with the tools needed to plan for next spring and the knowledge to help rewild your backyard and bring it back to life!
We encourage participation from Western New York homeowners, but all are welcome.
