Private residential properties (“yards”) encompass large proportions of urban, suburban, and rural spaces. As such, yards represent a conservation opportunity to provide wildlife habitat, support biodiversity, and increase local opportunities for people to connect with nature. In this FREE ZOOM webinar presentation, Dr. Susannah Lerman, Research Ecologist at the US Forest Service, will discuss a “humanity for habitat” stewardship practice which aims to inspire and encourage active participation in conservation actions where people live. This will include discussing ways people can enhance their yards to create residential landscapes that benefit both wildlife and people. This presentation is sponsored by the the Northeast Wildlife Team.
