Come join us on Tuesday March 18th at 6:30 pm to hear from Katharine Hogan, Director of Conservation at Lauritzen Gardens. In Nebraska and worldwide, there are multiple valuable ways to conserve our priceless native plant diversity. Two of these ways are focusing on native habitat as a whole, and focusing on species most at risk of decline or extinction. This presentation will be an exploration of both of these methods of conservation, the unique lessons learned from each, and how projects and collaborations that bridge both can help us more effectively protect and conserve our native plant diversity as a whole. It will include a summary of 20 years of vegetation monitoring from the Platte River Prairies preserve, and a description of some past and future conservation projects from Lauritzen's plant conservation program. This event will be in person and virtual and recorded.
