Join Sue Gwise, Cornell Cooperative Extension‘s Horticulture Educator and Master Gardener Coordinator, and Megan Pistolese, SLELO PRISM‘s Outreach and Education Coordinator as they discuss native plants for your yard.

You will learn how to detect non-natives on your property, native alternatives for common invasive ornamentals, and how to attract pollinators to your yard.

Matt Schlesinger, Chief Zoologist with New York’s Natural Heritage Program, will discuss how you can support community science through photographing pollinators in your own backyard.

Please submit questions with photos of your yard or plants ahead of time to info@indianriverlakes.org.  Presenters will answer questions during the presentation.
