Creating a Homegrown National Park® in Your Home or Community
Event Details
Interested in creating a Homegrown National Park? Not sure why it matters, how to begin…or what a “Homegrown National Park” even is? On April 15, Master Naturalist and Watershed Steward Alison Milligan will explain how this grassroots movement is bringing the life-preserving powers of national parks to communities across the country. She’ll outline how they can solve common landscaping problems while protecting the watershed, restoring biodiversity and adding value to your home. Using plants native to the Mid-Atlantic, she’ll walk through multiple before-and-after examples that illustrate the beauty of native flora and fauna. Part of the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center’s 60th anniversary webinar series.
This event will be hosted entirely online, and it will be recorded! Closed captions will be available at the live event and on the recording. By signing up on Zoom, you'll be able to watch live and receive a link to the recording a few days after the event.
