Desiree Narango, Ph.D., will speak about her recent research studying how landscaping practices influence wildlife in residential settings. Specifically, this talk will focus on her work comparing native and non-native plant species and plant preferences by butterflies, bees and birds. Narango will describe the ecological relationships between plants and insects, why insects matter to birds and steps you can take to improve wildlife habitat at home. She will also share resources to find more information about nature-friendly gardening and participating in community-driven science.
