In this myth-busting talk, author Nancy Lawson will help participants to learn how common growing methods divide the natural world into false dichotomies and perpetuate misperceptions about wild species in the environment. Participants will discover practical ways to put humane gardening philosophies into action by:

• protecting nesting sites for insects, birds and mammals;

• eliminating unintended hazards;

• identifying and nurturing plants that provide food and shelter;

• restoring habitat with minimal disturbance to animals; and

• humanely resolving conflicts with mammals and other commonly misunderstood creatures.

Registration is required in advance, here. There will be a brief business meeting at 7:00 p.m., immediately followed by the presentation.
