Berkshire Green Drinks: Pollinator Paradise Lawns
 |
GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Rich Lassor of Nature Works Land Care will present at the March Berkshire Green Drinks on Wednesday, March 13.
This free hybrid event is taking place online via Zoom and in person at Barrington Brewery, 420 Stockbridge Rd, in Great Barrington. The in-person social gathering begins around 5:15 PM; the presentation and Zoom meeting start at 6:00 PM.
According to a press release:
The typical grass lawn is a monoculture that hinders biodiversity and is a detriment to the environment in multiple ways. Yet, it's estimated that between 40 to 50 million acres of land in the US are some form of manicured lawn (i.e., mowed grass). However, transforming lawns into pollinator-friendly spaces that promote native biodiversity is accessible to both homeowners and landscapers. It can be as simple as introducing more diverse species into a lawn or as complex as turning a portion of a lawn into a meadow. Join Berkshire Environmental Action Team (BEAT) and Nature Works Land Care to learn different strategies to convert monoculture lawns to habitats that fight climate change and support local wildlife of all kinds.
