Lawns are one of the largest managed ecosystems in North America, yet they provide very little for biodiversity. Campaigns like “No Mow May” have helped many people notice the ecological limits of lawns and start thinking about alternatives. In this webinar, Emily May and Stephanie Frischie of the Xerces Society explore how everyday landscapes, including yards, parks, and other managed spaces, can be designed and managed to support pollinators and other wildlife over time. Drawing from conservation science and applied experience, they will talk through practical steps to create wild and wonderful spaces that reduce maintenance and welcome nature home. From selecting native plants to designing for year-round interest, learn about impactful, manageable changes for your own yard.
This webinar will be recorded and available on the Xerces Society YouTube channel. Closed Captioning will be available during this webinar.
