Homegrown National Park — An Introduction to the Movement
Kendall-Frost Reserve Trailer, 2055 Pacific Beach Drive, San Diego, CA, USWhat is the movement? Why does it matter? How you can get involved?
Join the Friends of Rose Creek for an an introduction to the Homegrown National Park Movement. This brief presentation will highlight why the movement matters and how you can take action to reduce the decline in biodiversity happening all around us.
"If half of American lawns were replaced with native plants, we would create the equivalent of a 20-million-acre national park, nine times bigger than Yellowstone." ~ Doug Tallamy, Co-founder Homegrown National Park, entomologist, New York Times best-selling author.
Friends of Rose Creek volunteer, Karin, will give a brief presentation on the movement, share information on why it matters, watch a short video of Doug Tallamy, and give you a few simple actions you can take.
Karin is a co-founder of the Friends of Rose Creek and has been restoring habitat at the creek and her own home for over 20 years. At one point, she knew nothing about the difference between native and non-native plants, but over the years she has learned why it matters.
Meetings take place at UC San Diego’s Henter Education Center in Kendall-Frost Mission Bay Marsh Reserve. Please note that no dogs or other pets are allowed in the Kendall-Frost Mission Bay Marsh Reserve. No smoking allowed!
