Roger Sanderson will address the need for native plants to provide food for insects, which in turn provide food for birds and other animals. Native plants also provide fruits as a food source and flowers to maintain pollinator populations. This presentation will cover a wide variety of trees and shrubs and what roles they play in the ecosystem. Mr. Sanderson will review which birds, bugs, or other wildlife use the various plants, their advantages to the home landscape, and how the plants sustain the local ecology and a healthy environment. Virtual doors to the online meeting will open for technology checks at 6:30 p.m. and the meeting will begin at 7 p.m. For details about how to access this online meeting, please check the NPSOT Events page.
