Meeting Room C

Learn about the Homegrown National Park movement and actionable steps you can take in your own yard and home.

The Homegrown National Park movement was born from the realization that our actions, even on a small scale, can collectively make a monumental difference in preserving biodiversity and combating environmental degradation. The premise is simple yet profound: by transforming our yards, balconies, and community spaces into wildlife-friendly habitats, we can create interconnected corridors that provide refuge for native plants and animals.

In this program we will discuss what action steps are being suggested to get your home on the Homegrown National Park map.

One of those action steps is forgoing the use of chemicals to control the mosquito population by taking the Mosquito Dunk Bucket Challenge.  Five lucky attendees will receive a free mosquito dunk bucket set-up!

Although this presentation is geared towards adults, the entire family is welcome.

Registration is requested but not required.
