What we plant and how we plant it can make a difference. Discover nature-based solutions for the home gardener that lessen the impacts of our changing climate. This program will give a brief overview of the current and projected impacts of our changing climate here in Illinois. The remainder of the presentation will introduce specific nature-based solutions and how individuals can implement these strategies to meet current and future challenges. The focus will include the use of native plants, storm water management, regenerative gardening practices, and composting.Eileen Davis, Environmental Educator, has variously served the Lake County Forest Preserves as an intern, volunteer and staff member since 1997.
