Speaker: Alden Picard, North Carolina Wildlife Federation Conservation Coordinator
Land is where conservation starts. Forest or field, public or private, every acre matters! Habitat loss is one of the leading causes of species decline today. All habitats, regardless of size, are essential to the survival of native wildlife. We can all take small steps in our daily lives to make a positive impact on our local environment.
Join NCWF Conservation Coordinator, Alden Picard for an engaging presentation on the importance of building wildlife habitats in the places we live, work, and play. By providing food, water, cover, and places for wildlife to raise young, you can help restore and enhance wildlife habitat in your community. Now more than ever, we must all take action to address the biodiversity crisis and work together to restore native plant communities. Learn about Garden for Wildlife programs and the steps you can take to make a difference for wildlife in your community.
