Grow Native Presents Evening with Experts: Planting for Climate Resilience with Andrea Berry, Executive Director, Wild Seed Project

Main Library, Lecture Hall, 449 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02138

In addition to helping to sustain vital pollinators, birds and other wildlife, native plantings offer countless other benefits that are indispensable in the age of climate change. When created and maintained with ecologically attuned landscaping practices, they can minimize flooding and storm water runoff, shade and cool cities, survive droughts, and facilitate carbon storage more effectively than the landscapes dominated by turf and mulch that blanket so many of our communities. Join Andrea Berry from the Wild Seed Project to learn about the actions you can take to make your corner of the world more biodiverse and resilient to the effects of climate change. Registration is required. Andrea joined Wild Seed Project as the organization’s Executive Director in 2021.
