Join us for a watch party at Lakeview Branch!
Instead of despair about our environment, Douglas W. Tallamy brings us hope. Specifically, Nature’s Best Hope: A New Approach to Conservation that Starts in Your Yard.
In this book, our chosen selection for 2024 Peoria Reads, Tallamy outlines a grassroots approach to conservation that is practical, effective, easy and – yes – even fun. During a virtual presentation and Q&A, Tallamy will discuss simple steps each of us can take to turn our yards into conservation corridors that may provide the margins to keep some species alive. You will walk away from this program with specific ideas you can incorporate into your own yard.
In the past, we have asked one thing of our gardens: that they be pretty. Now they have to support life, sequester carbon, feed pollinators and manage water. ~ Doug Tallamy
