Specialized relationships between animals and plants are the norm in nature rather than the exception. Plants that evolved in concert with local animals provide for their needs better than plants that evolved elsewhere. Dr. Tallamy will explain why this is so, why specialized food relationships determine the stability and complexity of the local food webs that support animal diversity, why it is important to restore life to our residential properties, and what we can do to make our landscapes living ecosystems once again.Doug Tallamy is a professor in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware. His book Bringing Nature Home: How Native Plants Sustain Wildlife in Our Gardens was published by Timber Press in 2007 and was awarded the 2008 Silver Medal by the Garden Writers’ Association.Schmieder Arboretum Members: Free DVC Students and Active Military: Free Nonmembers: $5.00 Senior Citizens: $3.00 Non-DVC Students; DVC Faculty and Staff: $3.00This event is co-sponsored by: Bucks Beautiful and Delaware Valley College |
