Talk Pollinators on Feb 27
Sue, Mickey and Lenore have been part of the planning process for the Rivertowns Pollinator Forum. at South Church on February 27 at 7:30 pm. One of the inspirations for the event was a text Sue sent to Lenore in early 2020 with a pix of a page from a book she was reading: Planting in a Post-Wild World by Thomas Rainer and Claudia West.
"A new way of thinking is emerging. It does not seek nature in remote mountain tops, but finds it instead in the midst of our cities and suburbs. It looks at our degraded built landscapes with unjaded eyes, seeing the archipelago of leftover land--suburban yards, utility easements, parking lots, road right of ways, and municipal drainage channels--not as useless remnants, but as territories of vast potential."
That's our parcel!!
You are invited to the Rivertowns Pollinator Forum at the Fellowship Hall at South Presbyterian Church in Dobbs Ferry. The program will include a presentation about encouraging pollinators in your own yard, as well as updates on current pollinator-related projects around the Rivertowns. All are welcome to attend, whether you’re beginning an interest in gardening, or you want to share your skills and learn more about local volunteer opportunities.
