SUMMARY:The Power of Water at Longwood Gardens
DESCRIPTION:When: Friday\, October 14\, 2022\, 6-7 p.m.\n\n\n\nWhere: The Beer Garden at Longwood Gardens\n\n\n\nCost: Free with admission to the gardens. Timed admission tickets are required.\n\n\n\n\nAs nature’s most important nutrient\, water connects and maintains all ecosystems\, and all life\, on our planet. Join Senior Research Scientist John Jackson\, Ph.D.\, and Director of Watershed Restoration Matthew Ehrhart\, both from Stroud Water Research Center — which advances knowledge and stewardship of freshwater systems through research\, education\, and watershed restoration — for an eye-opening discussion on the importance of water in our landscapes\, our regions\, and beyond. \n\n\n\nThis talk is part of the Light Nights series at Longwood. Enjoy live music\, fountain performances\, family activities\, and more — all inspired by Light: Installations by Bruce Munro. The exhibit ends on October 30\, 2022.

SUMMARY:Science Seminar: Nature’s Best Hope
DESCRIPTION:When: Tuesday\, October 25\, 2022. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. for light refreshments. Lecture begins at 6:30 p.m.\n\n\n\nWhere: The Meetinghouse at Stroud Water Research Center\, 970 Spencer Rd.\, Avondale\, PA 19311\n\n\n\nCost: Free\, thanks to our sponsor Lael Farm\, but you must RSVP to attend.\n\n\n\nIn-person and virtual options available.\n\n\n\nCo-hosted by Stroud Water Research Center and Penn Vet.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn-person seats are full! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRecent headlines about global insect declines and three billion fewer birds in North America are a bleak reality check about how ineffective our current landscape designs have been at sustaining the plants and animals that sustain us. To create landscapes that enhance local ecosystems rather than degrade them\, we must: \n\n\n\n\nRemove invasive species from our properties.\n\n\n\nAdd the native plant communities that sustain food webs\, sequester carbon\, maintain diverse native bee communities\, and manage our watersheds.\n\n\n\n\nIf we do this in half of the area now in lawn\, we can create a Homegrown National Park\, a 20 million-acre network of viable habitats that will provide vital corridors connecting the few natural areas that remain. This approach to conservation empowers everyone to play a significant role in the future of the natural world. \n\n\n\nPhoto: Rob Cardillo\n\n\n\nDoug Tallamy is the T. A. Baker Professor of Agriculture in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware. He has authored 106 research publications and taught insect-related courses for 41 years. Chief among his research goals is to better understand the many ways insects interact with plants and how such interactions determine the diversity of animal communities. \n\n\n\nHis books include “Bringing Nature Home\,” “The Living Landscape\,” co-authored with Rick Darke\, “Nature’s Best Hope\,” a New York Times Best Seller\, and “The Nature of Oaks\,” winner of the American Horticultural Society’s 2022 book award. In 2021 he co-founded Homegrown National Park with Michelle Alfandari. His awards include recognition from The Garden Writers Association\, Audubon\, The National Wildlife Federation\, Allegheny College\, The Garden Club of America\, and The American Horticultural Association. \n\n\n\nQuestions about this event?
