Rewilding, also known as Ecological Restoration, is what we do to try and correct the damage we cause to our local ecosystems. Plant and animal communities are affected and some species disappear from the area entirely. Basil will talk about how we can restore ecosystems to help bring back our local ecosystems and link habitats together starting in our own yards.

Please join us for a virtual presentation by Basil Conlin of Haliburton Micromeadows, located near Minden.
Tuesday, March 11 at 7 pm Please register in advance for this meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/dOq89_loQv-eumTErwQdLA After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. "Basil Conlin is a lifelong naturalist with a passion for sharing his love of nature with others. He grew up in Peterborough amongst tallgrass prairie and oak savannah remnants, went to Trent University for Conservation Biology, and worked as a seasonal naturalist in Algonquin Park for several summers and falls. Now he owns a small native plant nursery called 'Haliburton Micromeadows', located in Minden. The nursery opened in spring 2024 with the goal of making sustainable landscaping more accessible to gardeners in the area to prevent new invasive species from spreading. In his spare time, Basil can be found observing moths and other nocturnal insects that he records and submits to iNaturalist." |
