1. Ecological processes regulate habitats in healthy ecosystems. Native
plants are an essential part of habitats that support insects and
animals, but vegetation
alone does not provide the necessary resources for most creatures to
complete their life cycles. During this talk, natural regulating
processes of habitats and resource creation are broken down with easy
ways we can mimic those events in our own yards.

2. Creating robust habitats in our gardens should include ecology to
turn your backyard into a thriving haven for pollinators, birds, and
other wildlife. How-to integrate key resources into gardens will be
presented. Examples for specific species will also be provided

gorgeous, natural habitats in your own yard while appealing to neighbors
and friends.
