IN PERSON: “Going Native!”: The Many Benefits of Creating Habitat in Our Yards

Marshall Brown, Executive Director, The Long Island Conservancy, will share with us the benefits of using plants native to Long Island in our yards and gardens. Native plants can help with increased water absorption which means less flooding. They help filter water as it travels from land to the bay, creating a cleaner bay, and they also help to bring back the birds and insects we need to re-balance our natural Long Island habitat. Come find out more and how easy it is to make a difference in your own yard!
