When: September 10, 12 to 1pm

In late summer and early fall meadows come alive with wildflowers and insects. From the graceful pink Joe Pye Weed that blooms in mid-August, to New England Aster, one of the last spectacles of the year, there is so much to see and enjoy in the fields near your home—maybe even right in your own backyard.

Join Liz Thompson, Director of Conservation Science for the Vermont Land Trust, and Kent McFarland, Conservation Biologist with the Vermont Center for Ecostudies, in exploring the flowers and insects of late summer, and the fascinating interactions between them, from pollination to the nurturing of young to predation. They'll also give you tips for making your own yard a more pollinator-friendly place. Mills Riverside Park in Jericho, a site rich with wildflowers, will be a featured locality.
