Note: Dates have changed on some talks.
Celebrate ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Native Plant Month with a free webinar series dedicated to native plants and how they relate to and affect the environment and humans. Where: Zoom. or visit .
May 6 - Our Plant Neighbors with Lisa Strecker (ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Ethnobotany Program), Jessica Newton (Kenaitze Tribe): Some plants tend to grow well in places modified by humans. And, over time, people have developed relationships with their common plant neighbors. Our panel will introduce common ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ plant neighbors and how we can interact with them for our holistic well-being through the lens of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Native plant traditions and ethnobotany.
May 13 - Hummingbirds and Native Plants with Todd Eskelin (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service): The key to saving rufous hummingbirds, an important pollinator species, may lie with native plants. We will talk about the decline of rufous hummingbirds. The discussion will focus on which native plants are needed and how we might encourage range expansion. Bring your thinking caps.
May 20 - Pollinator Planting Guides with Maddie Dong (Pollinator Partnership): Pollinator Partnership recently released two new ecoregional planting guides covering ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ, divided into Temperate Continental and Temperate Coastal regions. In this talk, Maddie Dong will share how these guides were developed in collaboration with ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ-based plant and pollinator experts, and how they provide targeted native plant recommendations that support pollinators throughout the growing season.
May 27 - The Bad Seed: Unwanted Varieties in Wildflower Seed Mixes with Gino Graziano (Cooperative Extension Service): Wildflower seed mixes are sought after to add beauty to landscapes and provide habitat for a variety of pollinating insects. Some of the plants in wildflower seed mixes can be weedy, spreading beyond where they were planted, and in some instances become invasive. We will review wildflower species that have become invasive, and weedy species to look out for when you purchase a wildflower mix.
