Past, Present, and Future: Supporting our Changing Landscapes

Biological communities are always in a state of change.  By exploring how plant communities in the Mid-Hudson region have changed in the past, we gain an important perspective on current patterns.  How has the gain and loss of species over time shaped our landscape?  What can we learn from previous ecological restoration projects?  And what practical approaches can we take now to support overall biodiversity in this region and beyond? 

Dr. Meg Ronsheim is a Professor of Biology at Vassar College. Her current area of research focuses on the impact and management of invasive vines, forest regeneration, and restoration ecology. A number of you will recognize her from the wonderful walk and talk she gave us at Locust Grove last spring. Bring your native plant questions for a lively discussion.

The second annual meeting of Wild Ones Mid-Hudson Valley will follow Meg's talk. You will learn more about our work and opportunities to get involved. Snacks and coffee available.

All are invited!

Discover the power of ecological garden design in this free national webinar, Living in the Liberated Landscape: My Yard, with award-winning landscape designer Larry Weaner. Join us for a personal look at how dynamic, self-sustaining landscapes can emerge when we partner with nature instead of controlling it. Drawing on more than 35 years of experience, Larry will share practical strategies for designing dynamic gardens that evolve naturally, support biodiversity, and bring lasting beauty to your yard.

Seed Swap!  Lots of volunteers needed as we come together to exchange seeds!  Interested in contributing seed?  Helping with a bake sale?  Activities for children? Get in touch!  [email protected]

Designing with native plants isn’t just about what you grow, it’s about how you shape your space. In this hands-on workshop, Zoe Evans (Plan it Wild) and Heather Evans (Design Your Wild) guide you through the process of creating a cohesive yard plan that supports both your lifestyle and biodiversity.
