The “little things that run the world” are in big trouble: insect populations are plummeting, and many species are headed for extinction. This insect species decline has big implications for our food systems, ecology, and biodiversity. The good news is that we can turn this around with the stewardship of our forests. Forests are critical habitat for pollinators and other essential species. By protecting native plants, controlling invasive plants, and leaving deadwood, we can restore vital insect populations. Come learn what you can do and be inspired!

Join Women on the Land for this webinar on March 7 from 6:30-8pm with Heidi Dollard. Heidi is a Co-Chair of the Steering Committee of the Massachusetts Pollinator Network. She works to educate gardeners and land stewards on how they can support pollinators and other beneficial wildlife while creating a beautiful and functional landscape.
