SML's Luv-A-Bug Celebration: Bugs, Biodiversity, and Homegrown National Park

BUGS, BIODIVERSITY, AND HOMEGROWN NATIONAL PARK WITH MICHELLE ALFANDARI

Life as we know it depends on insects, “the little things that run our world” (entomologist Edward O Wilson). Join Michelle Alfandari for the screening of a new video narrated by New York Times best-selling author, entomologist, professor, and speaker Doug Tallamy on the crucial role of insects and introducing a new grassroots movement to regenerate biodiversity: Homegrown National Park®. Learn how insects are essential to life, why native plants are important to insects, and how you can join the movement.

Michelle Alfandari, co-founder, with Doug Tallamy, of HNP, is an accidental conservationist, sparked to action after hearing Tallamy speak. She is on a mission to move others to action by sharing the joy, discovery, and purpose of restoring habitats. She is a marketing and business development professional living in Sharon, CT.

Homegrown National Park® (HNPark.org) is a science-based grassroots movement to regenerate biodiversity, founded on the work of co-founder and NY Times best-selling author, entomologist, professor, and speaker Doug Tallamy. Using his yard as a laboratory, Tallamy leads by example, proving that restoring habitat on private land works to regenerate biodiversity. Each of us is the fastest solution to the biodiversity crisis.
