In Person: Planting for Climate Resilience at Green Home & Energy

April 6 @ 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM

Wild Seed Project is pleased to be the nonprofit beneficiary of this year’s Green Home & Energy Show.  Ticket proceeds will benefit Wild Seed Project.  We’ll be tabling at the show all day with information and merchandise.

Executive Director Andrea Berry will also present “Planting for Climate Resilience” sharing actions you can take to make your corner of the world more biodiverse and resilient to the effects of climate change.  In addition to helping to sustain vital pollinators, birds and other wildlife, native plantings offer countless other benefits that are indispensable in the age of climate change. When created and maintained with ecologically attuned landscaping practices, they can minimize flooding and storm water runoff, shade and cool cities, survive droughts, and facilitate carbon storage more effectively than the landscapes dominated by turf and mulch that blanket so many of our communities.

Presentation is at 1pm in the Student Lounge.
