Rewilding your backyard: Science to boost biodiversity and climate resilience

Join us to learn how managing your yard for wildlife can enhance habitat and biodiversity. Studies show that wildlife-friendly yards—with less lawn, diverse plantings, and reduced fertilizers—support more native plants and attract a greater variety of birds, bees, and beneficial insects. Make a positive impact in your own backyard!

 

A recording of the event is now available.

 


 

Woodwell Climate Conversations is a monthly event series designed to engage our community and foster meaningful discussion about climate change and its impacts.

This series provides a platform for both in-person and virtual discussions, workshops, and presentations.

Join us each month as we bring together experts, thought leaders, and community members to explore the latest climate science, the work being done at Woodwell Climate Research Center, and the steps we can all take toward a sustainable future.

Each event is free and open to the public. Doors open at 5:00pm, events start at 6:00pm in the Harbourton Auditorium.

 

Select lectures will be available both in-person and virtually, with recordings available on the Woodwell Climate website at a later date.
