Abbot Public Library and Sustainable Marblehead invite the community to attend a talk about the importance of native plants and pollinators and their connection to biodiversity. Speaker Peggy McLeod will explore community strategies for reversing the critical loss of biodiversity in order to create a more resilient future. MacLeod will describe how adopting a biodiversity mindset can provide four seasons of
beauty, sustain a wide range of native wildlife habitats, offer greater hope for the future and lead to a deeper connection with nature. Learn about a movement across Massachusetts to build pollinator pathways that expand habitat using important native trees, shrubs and plants.
