Conserving Insects and What You Can do to Help

by Dr. Rebeccah Waterworth

Dr. Rebeccah Waterworth will be discussing how beneficial insects can be saved by restoring native plants to our ecosystems. She will share online resources that you can use to determine which plants best attract these insects and are beneficial to add to your garden. She will also discuss the recent headlines on insect decline and how conserving insects in your yard can go a long way to help preserve biodiversity at a local scale.
