In this program, Catherine Bryla and Peggy Connor will discuss the mission of Sag Moraine Native Plant Community…..to promote the use of native plants and ecological landscape practices in our suburban landscapes.  They will explain why native plants are so key in the protection of our environment and our food chain, playing a critical role in preventing further pollinator decline and ecosystem degradation. Learn about the native plants that work well in suburban landscapes, and how with small and simple steps, every landowner can make a big impact on our local ecosystem. This presentation is suitable for all ages.
