Native plants are the foundation of terrestrial ecosystems. Invertebrates, especially insects, take the wonderful products of photosynthesis that plants create and make them available to most of the animals that are part of the ecological web. All birds and many mammals would go extinct without native plants and their associated insects. We will explore this critical yet often hidden service and discuss how individual people and their communities can link their landscape to the local ecosystem and help sustain the intricate web of life around them by the selection and planting of particular native plants. About the presenter: Ted Alway is a long-time Peshastin resident, orchardist and founder of Derby Canyon Natives nursery. He went to college to study Ornamental Horticulture and left with a degree in Entomology; this presentation includes two of his greatest loves, bugs and native plants! Doors open at 6:30pm for a community social with beer and wine available for purchase. The presentation will start at 7:00pm.
