Restoring Abundance and Conserving Rarity: Helping Vermont’s Native Plants Thrive
Feb 22 | 11 am | Fletcher Memorial Library 88 Main St, Ludlow, VT 05149
How are Vermont's rare plants faring? What about the common ones? Learn about the work of the Vermont Natural Heritage Inventory to map, monitor, and conserve over 600 species of rare and uncommon plant species across the state. Discover how and WHY to responsibly choose native plants for your own pollinator gardens, meadowscaping, and beyond. In-person attendees will receive a small packet of local native wildflower seeds.
Community Watershed Environmental Education Activity - Brattleboro, VT
Jan 21 | 2 pm - 4 pm | Brooks Memorial Library
Come to the library for hands-on, fun, and interactive demonstrations on the sources and effects of water pollution. What is a watershed? How does pollution get in our water? Vermont River Conservancy will run demonstrations and activities on how storm water runoff carries pollutants through the watershed to a pond, lake, river, bay, or ocean – and the best management practices to prevent this type of pollution from occurring. The overall watershed/stormwater concept is effectively communicated to all ages (children to adults)!
