The Gettysburg Green Gathering Presents Doug Tallamy
November 5, 2022 @ 11:30 am - 3:00 pm

Doors open @ 11:30
Speaker @1pm
As a New York Times best-seller, Doug Tallamy has a large audience of people that have read his books. He has published four books all related to what people can do at their own homes to help with environmental conservation. Mr. Tallamy’s first book, Bringing Nature Home, awakened thousands of readers to an urgent situation: wildlife populations are in decline because the native plants they depend on are fast disappearing. His solution? Plant more natives. Tallamy outlines his vision for a grassroots approach to conservation. He shows how homeowners everywhere can turn their yards into conservation corridors that provide wildlife habitats. Because this approach relies on the initiatives of private individuals, it is immune from the whims of government policy. Even more important, it’s practical, effective, and easy—people will walk away with specific suggestions they can incorporate into their own yard. Our hope is to attract members of our Adams County community who have an interest in environmental conservation and would like to hear from a popular activist within the conservation community.
This event will begin at 11:30am and feature local non-profit environmental organizations and clubs who will be available to speak with community members about their environmental efforts in Adams County. Light food and drinks will be served during this time for attendees. Doug Tallamy will present his talk at 1pm, followed by a Q&A session.
