S25/37                       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.More  Starts:

                            Invasive plants are invading property and destroying ecosystems. This presentation talks about characteristics of the most egregious invasive plants and how to identify and control species that are impacting our environment in a big way. This class will offer alternatives to invasives still being sold and suggest measures landowners can take to protect property and prevent spread. The presentation also discusses recent legislation to eliminate the sale of commonly sold invasives and what local municipalities are doing to control invasives on public lands and in educating residents. The instructors are hoping to learn more from participants on what actions are being taken in their own communities, and will make suggestions how attendees can help battle these invasive thugs.
