BRINGING NATURE HOME: A LECTURE BY AUTHOR DOUGLAS TALAMY - June 10, 2010
Thursday, June 10, 6:30 to 8:30 pm
Cambridge Public Library, 449 Broadway, Cambridge
Doug Tallamy, Chair of the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware, has done groundbreaking work on the role of insects as intermediaries in the food web, discovering the extent to which exotic plants, even if they are not invasive, host relatively few insects. His work reveals how important it is to restore native plant communities if we are to reverse the declines in migrating songbirds, butterfly populations, and biodiversity as a whole. Tallamy makes an urgent plea about the importance of native plants to our landscapes, and indeed, to our survival. And he embraces the importance of land stewardship throughout urban and suburban America as critical components of this effort. Co-sponsored with Grow Native Cambridge.
