SUMMARY:Sustainable Concord Coffee: The relationship between healthy habita
 ts and sustainability with Isabel Bailey
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nTraditional landscaping in America is typically an expans
 e of lawn and a few non-native shrubs and flowers. Unfortunately\, such a 
 landscape provides little or no food for pollinators. Pollinators are esse
 ntial for sustaining a biodiverse habitat\, not only because they allow pl
 ants to reproduce but also because their caterpillars and other larvae pro
 vide food for birds\, the vast majority of whom require them for feeding t
 heir young\, even if they are seed eaters as adults. Indeed\, bird populat
 ions have dropped by 30% over the last 50 years. We can help stop this dec
 line by altering our landscaping practices to include native pollinator pl
 ants which will increase biodiversity\, support healthy habitats\, and pro
 vide resilience to climate change.\n\nIsabel Bailey has been a citizen of 
 Concord since 1982\, a UMass Pollinator Steward\, a member of Concord’s 
 Pollinator Health Advisory Committee\, and a trail steward of Harrington T
 rail\, West Concord. Since retirement from Boston Childrens Hospital she h
 as focused on planting pollinator gardens in Lincoln and Concord and invas
 ive plant removal in both towns. She has worked with the library and the C
 oncord Garden Club providing winter native plant workshops for 5 years. Sh
 e is passionate about fighting climate change and the insect apocalypse th
 rough improving our natural world.\n\n\n
