Bill Kirst from Adapt: Community Supported Ecology will be joining us virtually as part of our March member meeting. Attendees may join us virtually via Zoom or in-person at the Environmental Interpretive Center!
Presentation: Humans are undoubtedly the most important species in any ecosystem. How they relate to and interact with their ecosystem determines whether or not thousands of other species have a place to live. In this lively talk, William will discuss how to (and how not to) use native plants to attract humans to your native plant garden and how to get them (especially the stubborn ones) to relate and interact positively with the natural world.
Speaker Bio: William Kirst is the founder of Adapt: Community Supported Ecology, a 501(c)3 that trains Community Leaders who offer a variety of free services, and is co-owner of Adapt Landscapes LLC, a full-scale garden design and installation company for those seeking larger, elegant native plant and perennial edible landscapes. While not freaking out about running two organizations, he likes to hang out with his children - doing art or playing football, play a variety of musical instruments, sing with Adapt Landscapes co-owner Kat Baskin, read science fiction and pretend that someday he will start running or practicing yoga again.
