This talk will be a discussion on how native plants, while not a solution to our broader climate change problems, can be a key component in making our landscapes healthier and more resilient to the negative effects of our warming climate. We can no longer afford to have our home landscapes be ecological deserts, and we need to find ways to change how we define beauty when it comes to our lawns, gardens, and public spaces. Dan will discuss how climate change is stressing our ecosystems in unique ways, and how our landscaping choices can be part of a solution rather than part of the problem.

What makes a successful garden? Style, environmental conditions and plant choices play a role, but there are certain basic universal principles and elements that make a garden space "work" for any gardener or visitor. In this class we'll explore the thought process that should take place before any plant goes into the ground as well as how to make your vision come to life, whether you're starting from a blank slate or a pre-existing design.

By planting natives, avoiding pesticides, and reducing lawn, these simple steps in our gardens have been proven to create healthy, connected habitats for pollinators and wildlife as they struggle across the landscape to find new food and nesting habitats. Land Trusts, like Aspetuck, can’t save all the land, so we as landowners need to make our yards stepping- stones to heal and connect the landscape. The Aspetuck Land Trust Green Corridor is an initiative that combines land protection and land stewardship in a 6-town region to enhance regional biodiversity during this time of dramatic climate change. I will share all the ingredients to help landowners supercharge biodiversity with simple action steps that can have a big impact including highlighting the work we have done in the City of Bridgeport developing Micro-Forests, using the Miyawaki Method of forestry for the first time in CT. By planting small forests of different sizes at 7 schools in Bridgeport, a small but mighty forest of native trees and shrubs have helped to capture carbon, manage stormwater, cool the air, and improve biodiversity at a rate 3x that of a traditional forest and with a higher collective impact than street trees alone. Learn how the method was implemented by Building Bridges to the Bridgeport Community, the design, build, maintenance and the data being collected to measure climate smart impact.
