Pollinators, Predators, Plants, & Pesticides | WCU Nature U Online Series
May 7 @ 6:30 pm - May 28 @ 7:30 pm
$90.00
Beginning with native bees and other beneficial pollinators, learn how to foster populations of these animals in your outdoor spaces through native plantings and other practices. Discover the countless benefits of viewing your land as part of the ecosystem and mimicking the incredible power of natural spaces. Recreating that process is possible within your own garden, and it all starts with gaining a deeper understanding of the native beneficial creatures that are the cogs of our ecosystem. Explore methods of creating a balance in your garden through native plantings and other key pieces of habitat to attract the pollinators, predators, prey, and microbes needed in a thriving and well-balanced ecosystem. Information on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and a general IPM template will be provided as part of this course.
Every Wednesdays from May 7 – May 28 from 6:30 – 7:30 pm
