The essential need to view our yards as an ecologically functional source of life offers each of us the opportunity to act to repair our natural world where we live.  Join Laura Markson, a backyard naturalist from the non-profit Nurture Native Nature as she explores ways to heal our yards’ ecosystem in a presentation called Essential Elements of a Habitat Yard. Laura will share the daily joy and wonder of experiencing nature in her own rewilded yard. She will explain the basic ways we can increase biodiversity and offer safe wildlife habitat no matter what the size of our outdoor space. Considerations when adding basic elements such as water sources and native plants, and tips for doing no harm will be offered. Wherever you are in your journey of creating a welcoming place for wildlife, Laura will inspire you to make at least one change in your own yard and include resources to get you started.
