Nature Support

August 14 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

  • This event has passed.

In the words of E. O. Wilson, insects are “the little things that run the world.”

It’s true: protecting insect life protects all life.
Insects fulfill vital roles for keeping our planet functioning, such as pollinating our flowers, serving as
food sources for birds, decomposing wastes, and cycling nutrients.
By growing native plants, we can protect insects. Plants provide the foundation for insect life. This
extends beyond pollination services. Virtually all terrestrial and freshwater aquatic plants are fed on by
insects. Join our workshop!

We will review science-based information to provide actionable tools you can rely on. Want to support
nature? With the right knowledge and tools, we can build a healthier planet.
• The intimate connection between plants and insects
• Potential causes for insect declines
• Planting recommendations
• Gardening tips

Join the Marion Natural History Museum when we host Plymouth County State Entomologist Blake Dinius as he covers this interesting topic for those that love our native plant and insect species.
