Cary Environmental Symposium: Homegrown National Park

Cary Environmental Symposium: Homegrown National Park
Friday, September 19, 2025
7:30pm

Runtime: 90 Minutes

Our parks and wildlands are too small and fragmented to support vital native species, putting ecosystems at risk. Homegrown National Park encourages individuals to restore biodiversity by reducing lawns, planting native species, and removing invasives to rebuild ecological networks and protect our planet’s future.

Doug Tallamy is a professor in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware, where he has taught insect taxonomy, behavioral ecology, and other related subjects. Chief among his research goals is to better understand the many ways insects interact with plants and how such interactions determine the diversity of animal communities.

Trees for the Triangle is proud to collaborate with the Town of Cary to host the third annual Cary Environmental Symposium. From September 3 to October 1, we invite you to join us for an exciting lineup of presentations, performances, and discussions. Each event is designed to inspire thoughtful and principled civic debate on the challenges facing our air, land, water, and the effects those challenges have on life here in Cary and on earth. Proceeds from ticket sales go directly to local tree plantings to increase our urban forest canopy.
