SUMMARY:A Talk with Doug Tallamy
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, July 20\, 2025 | 4:00 PMFI Movie Theater & via Zoom \nThe Fishers Island Conservancy is proud to co-host a special presentation by Dr. Doug Tallamy\, leading entomologist\, conservationist\, and co-founder of the transformative Homegrown National Park initiative. \nJoin us on Sunday\, July 20 at 4:00 p.m. for an illustrated talk at the movie theater (also available via Zoom)\, where Dr. Tallamy will share his compelling vision for restoring biodiversity\, starting in our own backyards! Following the talk\, there will be a book signing and a reception. \nWith a national goal to convert 20 million acres of turfgrass into native plant habitat\, Homegrown National Park challenges individuals and communities to rethink their landscapes and take action. Tallamy’s message is simple but powerful: we can no longer rely solely on protected wildlands to sustain native species! Real conservation must also happen where people live! On private property\, in public spaces\, and across working lands. \nDrawing on decades of research and outreach\, Dr. Tallamy will highlight how native plants support insects\, which in turn support birds and the broader web of life. Through engaging visuals and practical advice\, he’ll demonstrate how replacing lawn with native species not only helps wildlife thrive\, but also reconnects us with the ecosystems we depend on. \nA longtime advisor to the Fishers Island Conservancy\, Dr. Tallamy’s ecological expertise helped guide the restoration of the Parade Grounds… a living model of habitat renewal that continues to inspire conservation efforts across the island. \nWhether you’re a seasoned gardener\, a curious newcomer\, or someone looking to make a difference at home\, this talk will leave you with the tools and motivation to take part in one of the most hopeful grassroots movements in conservation today! \nLearn more about Homegrown National Park
