Join MetroWest Climate Solutions on June 16 at 7 p.m. for a free webinar on the powerful connection between keystone plants and the insects that depend on them. You’ll learn how to implement “Soft Landings” – a habitat design and management strategy focusing on creating drought-tolerant mini-ecosystems beneath native trees to support pollinators throughout their life cycles. The session will also explore examples of fascinating bee/plant relationships and learn how keystone plants function as foundational species in our ecosystems. Site preparation methods, herbicide considerations, and building a resilient plant matrix of sedges, grasses, and flowering plants will also be covered.
Our speaker, Heather Holm, is a pollinator conservationist and award-winning author of four books. Heather’s expertise includes the interactions between native pollinators and native plants, and the natural history and biology of native bees and predatory wasps. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, Minneapolis Star Tribune, and many local publications.
