Managing Public Trees and Spaces for Wildlife
Part of VCE Loudoun Master Gardener's Free Lecture Series
Thursday, May 2, 2024
7:00-8:00 p.m.
Hosted by Loudoun County Public Library
As a nation, we are becoming more and more disconnected from nature, even though spending time outdoors has been shown to provide measurable physical and psychological benefits. For wildlife, the rate at which natural habitats are being conserved is declining, and there is great potential to provide valuable resources within cities and communities. Therefore, the management of public green spaces for both wildlife and humans is a win-win situation. This talk will discuss strategies and ideas for managing trees in public spaces (i.e. parks, recreation spaces, residential areas) for wildlife. Specifically, we will talk about how to promote habitat for birds, bats and pollinators.
