CLC Stewardship Director Debra Marnich’s Backyard Habitat in a Changing Climate program is a must-watch for anyone in the position of caring for even tiny pockets of land—what we chose to do and not do can always improve habitat for diverse native species and boost resilience in a changing climate. We’ve included some additional resources below the replay.
Update: In June Debra Marnich presented at Green Mountain Conservation Group’s program, Creating Habitat for Native Pollinators, with Wendy Scribner of UNH Cooperative Extension and Catherine Dufault of Carroll County Conservation District. A big thank you to Tara Schroeder from GMCG for sharing a resource list that we’ve incorporated into the list below.
