Join Five Rivers MetroParks educator, Betty Hoevel, to learn more about the design potential of native plants. Natives are not only good for the environment, they are beautiful and come in many colors, textures, and forms that will complement your existing landscaping.

This workshop will focus on the aesthetics of adding these hardy, pollinator-friendly plants to your yard. Bring your questions!

In partnership with Green Oakwood.

Replacing invasive species with natives and mimicking regional ecosystems can help re-establish vital habitat. Regional ecosystems like prairies, wetlands, and forests are also typically carbon sinks, meaning they accumulate and store carbon, which is good for the planet.  

Join Tim Pritchard, Sustainability Manager with Five Rivers MetroParks to learn practical steps you can take to help restore habitat and make your yard not only beautiful, but wildlife and climate friendly.
