Elizabeth St. , Skaneateles, NY 13152 CANCELED due to coronavirus Beautiful Backyards with Birds, Bees, and Butterflies: protect our water with native plant landscapesFREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLICWHEN: Saturday, May 2, 2020. Doors open at 8 a.m. Event ends at 12:30 p.m.WHERE: Skaneateles High School, 49 E. Elizabeth St., SkaneatelesPresentations by Doug Tallamy, professor and author of Bringing Nature Home, The Living Landscape, and Nature’s Best Hope Learn why and how native plants are so important to protecting Skaneateles and all our lakes. Be inspired to beautify your yards and gardens while preserving our precious waterways and providing habitat for birds, butterflies, and the other creatures that are part of a healthy environment.Presentations8:30 – 9:45 Presentation 1: Restoring Nature’s Relationships Specialized relationships between animals and plants are the norm in nature rather than the exception. It is specialized relationships that provide our birds with insects and berries, that disperse our bloodroot seeds, that pollinate our goldenrod, and so on. Plants that evolved in concert with local animals provide for their needs better than plants that evolved elsewhere. Tallamy will explain why this is so, why specialized food relationships determine the stability and complexity of the local food webs that support animal diversity, why our yards and gardens are essential parts of the ecosystems that sustain us, and how we can use our landscapes to connect the isolated habitat fragments around us. It is time to create landscapes that enhance local ecosystems rather than degrade them.10:15 – 11:30 Presentation 2:A Guide to Restoring the Little Things that Run the WorldA recent UN report predicts that as many as 1 million species will disappear from planet earth because of human activities. Many of these are insects and nearly all species at risk rely on insects. Insects have already declined 45% since 1974. The most alarming part of this statistic is that we don’t seem to care, despite the fact that a world without insects is a world without humans! So how do we create beautiful landscapes brimming with life; landscapes that support the pollinators, herbivores, detritivores, predators and parasitoids that run the ecosystems we depend on? Tallamy will remind us of the many essential roles insects play, and describe the simple changes we must make in our landscapes and our attitudes to keep insects on the ground, in the air and yes, on our plants.Additional activitiesBuy Tallamy’s newly-published book, Nature’s Best HopeLearn more from the organizations and native plant nurseries that will be tabling at the event.Buy native plants after the event.Refreshments will be available.About Doug Tallamy Doug TallamyDoug Tallamy is a professor in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware, where he has authored 95 research publications and has taught insect related courses for 40 years. Chief among his research goals is to better understand the many ways insects interact with plants and how such interactions determine the diversity of animal communities. His book Bringing Nature Home: How Native Plants Sustain Wildlife in Our Gardens was published by Timber Press in 2007 and was awarded the 2008 Silver Medal by the Garden Writers’ Association. The Living Landscape, co-authored with Rick Darke, was published in 2014.Doug’s new book Nature’s Best Hope was released by Timber Press in February 2020. Among his awards are the Garden Club of America Margaret Douglas Medal for Conservation and the Tom Dodd, Jr. Award of Excellence, the 2018 AHS B.Y.

They learn about the research process and the steps needed to organize information into an interesting and creative presentation. Youth learn about the varied purposes of presentations and how to tailor their presentations appropriately to fit their intentions. Beginners are encouraged to select simple topics with which they are extremely comfortable, so that the presentation process is the focus of their learning without the stress of learning about an unfamiliar topic. As youth progress and grow each year, they are challenged to try one of the more difficult types of presentations, to use more advanced technology in their presentations where appropriate, and to venture into unfamiliar topics or presentation styles. Youth choose a topic of interest, research the topic, and present the topic. Individual presentations, demonstrations, or team presentations are the types encouraged. Some clubs have the topics presented to their club, and then Public Presentations are done for Onondaga County in early spring. Any 4-H member can present. Junior age group is 8 to 13 years old. Senior age group is 14-19 years old. Volunteer evaluators (two per room) pick the best three presenters out of each room at the county level. Out of the best, three senior presenters and three junior presenters are chosen out of equine (3 of each age division) and general (3 of each age division) topics who then go on to either, Horse Communications for District, or the general topics to North Central District. Horse presentations are timed at the regional level 7-10 minutes for individuals and 10-15 minutes for teams in length. General presentations times are beginners (2-5 mins.), Intermediate (4-10 mins.), and Advanced (10-15 mins.). Penalties are applied if under time or over time at this level. Youth who excel at these levels can be chosen to go on to State level. This year, due to COVID-19, we are holding our first VIRTUAL public presentations.  Please contact Robin with any questions.
