Past, Present, and Future: Supporting our Changing Landscapes

Past, Present, and Future: Supporting our Changing Landscapes

Biological communities are always in a state of change. By exploring how plant communities in the Mid-Hudson region have changed in the past, we gain an important perspective on current patterns. How has the gain and loss of species over time shaped our landscape? What can we learn from previous ecological restoration projects? And what practical approaches can we take now to support overall biodiversity in this region and beyond?

Dr. Meg Ronsheim is a Professor of Biology at Vassar College. Her current area of research focuses on the impact and management of invasive vines, forest regeneration, and restoration ecology. A number of you will recognize her from the wonderful walk and talk she gave us at Locust Grove last spring. Bring your native plant questions for a lively discussion.

The second annual meeting of Wild Ones Mid-Hudson Valley will follow Meg’s talk. You will learn more about our work and opportunities to get involved. Snacks and coffee available.

All are invited!
