The severity of weather events in our region, causing flooding; damage to trees, land, infrastructure and power lines; erosion of stream banks; and stress on our natural habitats, compels us to seek better environmental stewardship. If we each do our part and come together as a community, there is still time to make a difference.
Local landscape architect and Tinicum Conservancy member David Hughes will provide guidance to help heal some of these environmental stresses. He’ll discuss:
• Hedgerow and riparian corridor conservation and restoration
• Creating diverse garden habitats that improve water infiltration and quality
• Planting native species to increase biodiversity
• Proper plant selection to increase ecological tolerance and recovery after periods of environmental stress
• Ways to reduce destructive landscape practices that decrease the lands’ ability to slow down and absorb rainfall
