Encouraging Wildlife Diversity in Designed Landscapes
Matt Tarr
Location: Harris Center for Conservation Education,
83 Kings Hwy, Hancock, NH 03449
"An abundance of wildlife” is one of the best indicators of an ecologically well-designed landscape. By understanding how pollinators, birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians select their habitats during each season of the year, we can design landscapes that effectively attract and support a diversity of wildlife. This presentation will provide practical methods for designing ecologically complete landscapes that invite human interaction and transcend simple aesthetics through their added interest and functioning interconnected elements.

Monarch Butterflies as Pollinators
Donna Miller
Location: Shieling Forest State Park, Learning Center
395 Old Street Road, Peterborough, NH 03458
Where have all the monarchs gone? The monarch butterfly has long been a common sight during late summer in New Hampshire. But some years you see them, and some years you don't. Donna has been assisting Monarch Watch, tagging and releasing monarchs each fall. She'll share slides of her Monarch Way Station and Monarch Maternity Ward, two gardens designed specifically to attract monarchs. We'll discuss what's behind their fluctuating populations and how we can improve their numbers.
