In the first installment in the Andover Pollinator Pathway Speaker Series, hear from Amy Meltzer who will discuss providing habitats for pollinators, birds and other essential wildlife. The talk will focus on the current biodiversity crisis; the evolutionary history among native plants, insects, birds and fungi, and how the interdependent relationships among diverse species are necessary for their survival.
She will show how growing native plants and using ecological landscape practices can simultaneously reverse biodiversity loss, increase resilience in our landscapes, and slow climate change - all while creating a beautiful garden!
Amy Meltzer is an active member of Grow Native Massachusetts and the Mass Pollinator Network, and is on the research team of Elders Climate Action.
