We are thrilled to welcome the Village of Irvington and the O’Hara Nature Center whose new speaker series features experts on topics related to community and the Irvington Woods, forest land management, and environmental biodiversity. The series is made possible through a grant from New York State Assembly member Mary J. Shimsky.
The first speaker, Douglas Tallamy, is a renowned American entomologist, conservationist, and University of Delaware professor known for championing native plants to combat biodiversity loss, advocating for homeowners to create habitat through landscaping, and co-founding the Homegrown National Park initiative; his influential books, like Bringing Nature Home and Nature's Best Hope, connect everyday gardening to ecological restoration, making him a leading voice in sustainable landscaping.
