Chapters in Missouri

From the St Charles City County Library Website:

Native Landscaping for Drought Tolerance– Learn about the importance of planning now for future drought. Explore how climate change is predicted to affect our growing season, precipitation patterns, and what native species you can plant to support wildlife and withstand drought.

 Dan  Pearson directs the St. Louis Audubon Society’s Bring Conservation Home program, providing ecological landscaping consultations, certification assessments, and outreach education to improve landscapes for the benefit of wildlife and human communities across the St. Louis region. 

He chairs the steering committee for the St. Louis Native Plant Garden Tour and the Partners for Native Landscaping Series and was named “2022 Watershed Hero” by the River des Peres Watershed Coalition. Bring Conservation Home was awarded “Conservation Organization of the Year” by the Conservation Federation of Missouri in 2023.

This program is in partnership with Wild Ones St Charles Area Chapter, a nonprofit organization designed to promote the understanding of native plants, their benefits, and what they can provide for the environment both in private as well as public areas of landscaping.

In this presentation, we will explore the basic principles behind good pruning practices, untangling much of the mystery of pruning, such as the age-old question: Where do I begin?

There will also be a brief discussion on tool selection, along with care and maintenance, followed by Q&A.

The presenter for this program is Dave Gunn:
