Presentation: “Sharing space: Trees, people and the developed landscapes of New Jersey.” New Jersey can boast of an incredibly diverse listing of tree species which can variously provide canopy in what might be called an urban forest structure. But questions can develop in a time where many folks do not even recognize the differences between the trees, much less how they might deal with a rapidly changing environment. We’ll chat about urban forestry, where folks can engage in positive actions to impact their community, and how we might look at service life for the trees in a municipality (publicly or privately held).
With a little historic perspective, and a lot of creativity, we can produce the values of longevity, service and resilience in our vegetation within urban spaces in balance with the risks of investing in the living components of our communities. Those choices are not in opposition with our build infrastructure, if we choose to invest in integrated solutions versus exclusionary designs for single use simplicity.
Presentation: “Pollinator Pathway – Be on It!” Native pollinators face mounting challenges from a combination of habitat fragmentation and climate change. This presentation will explore how we can mitigate this problem and help to rescue these essential creatures by creating corridors of pollinator-sustaining native plants to connect habitat and facilitate migration. Find how you can take part in this effort in a local park, a neglected roadside, or your own backyard.
