Lecture: Woodland Wildflower Restoration with Jessica Arcate Schuler
Join the Bedford Audubon Society for the first in a free three-part series on Westchester Wildflower Conservation, co-sponsored by Bedford Audubon, Mianus River Gorge, Pound Ridge Land Conservancy, & Westchester Land Trust.
Jessica A. Schuler, Director of the Thain Family Forest at The New York Botanical Garden, will describe how NYBG is using historical collections and modern field surveys to identify and restore extirpated, or locally extinct, native flora in the 50-acre old-growth urban forest. While the exact causes of extirpation are unknown, overcollecting, soil compaction, pollution, invasive species, and climate change are suspected culprits in the disappearance of many native species, including wildflowers.
Wednesday, March 13th
