Happening on Sanibel: Show/Hide
Audubon hosted Doug Tallamy to speak on the critical importance of insects and native plants. Tallamy is rofessor and Chair of the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware in Newark, Delaware. Chief among his research goals is to understand the many ways insects interact with plants and how such interactions determine the diversity of animal communities.
Doug Tallamy made a compelling case and offered a simple solution that anyone with a patch of earth — no matter how small — can follow: Make a contribution to biodiversity by choosing native plants. Bringing Nature Home passionately argues that it isn't too late to save ecological communities, and that we all have a significant role in the process. If you want to create ecosystems with a diversity of animal species, we first have to encourage a healthy diversity of plants. It’s simple: By gardening with native plants — no matter where you live or how small or large your space is — you can help sustain wildlife.
Bird Walk Schedule is now available. Our first bird walk is scheduled for December 5th, 2009 at the Bailey Tract. Annual CBC totals are available under Birdwalks.
Suggested donation $2.
