Life as we know it depends on insects, “the little things that run our world” (entomologist Edward O Wilson). Join Michelle Alfandari for the screening of a new video narrated by entomologist Doug Tallamy on the crucial role of insects and a new grassroots movement to regenerate biodiversity: Homegrown National Park®. Learn how insects are essential to life, why native plants are important to insects, and how you can join the movement.

Michelle Alfandari, co-founder of HNP, is an accidental conservationist, sparked to action after hearing Doug Tallamy speak. She is on a mission to move others to action by sharing the joy, discovery, and purpose of restoring habitats. She is a marketing and business development professional living in Sharon, CT. 

Homegrown National Park® (HNPark.org) is a science-based grassroots movement to regenerate biodiversity, founded on the work of co-founder and NY Times best-selling author, entomologist, professor, and speaker Doug Tallamy. Using his yard as a laboratory, Tallamy leads by example, proving that restoring habitat on private land works to regenerate biodiversity. Each of us is the fastest solution to the biodiversity crisis.

This event is part of SML's Luv-A-Bug celebration.

Presented in partnership with the Salisbury Association Land Trust, with support from the Friends of the Scoville Library.

Registration is required for this event.
