SUMMARY:First Friday: Nurturing Habitat at Home for Pollinators

Join author and eco-landscape designer Eileen Stark to learn about their lives and needs. Discover how to welcome\, support\, and protect them throughout all of their life cycles by restoring native habitat\, using ecological design principles\, and eliminating toxins and other hazards. The essence of a successful garden lies not only in its ability to look beautiful\, but also in its capacity to nurture life that’s in danger of being lost forever. \nPresenter Bio:\nEileen Stark is a Portland-based eco-landscape designer\, habitat consultant\, author and photographer whose academic background includes biology\, wildlife ecology\, and design. As a deeply committed conservationist\, she strives to create awareness of the myriad creatures with which we share this fragile planet.
