Gardeners need to understand the scope of plant extinction and how all native animals depend on the evolved species of a given landscape. They need to see the garden more as a habitat than a collection of alien plant "pets". Growing efforts need to consider the food and shelter value of plants to birds and the insects they eat. Features the work of Doug Tallamy and the Habitat Network.]]>

A simple campaign based on the fact that litter begets litter. If we are above picking up a couple of pieces a day, we are part of the problem, as leaving it invites people to toss more. Also covers cigarette butt toxicity and the magnitude of litter pollution. ]]>

Japanese Barberry (Berberis thunbergii) is an invasive plant in Cape Breton Nova Scotia. It has also been associated with Lyme disease, forest regrowth suppression, erosion, and more. We recommend removing it and not planting it on this Island as we do not have the population to remove invasive plants once they get loose. Invasive plants are pollution that reproduces on its own. NOTE: Lyme has now been CONFIRMED on Cape Breton Island.]]>

Invasive plants are a form of pollution that reproduces itself. They are projected to "grow" into a problem larger than simple habitat destruction, because they multiply on their own, without our influence once unleashed. This was an introductory presentation for the average person featuring Angelica sylvestris, purple loosestrife, Japanese barberry, Tansy ragwort and Japanese knotweed. The presentation was given at the Baddeck Library in Cape Breton Nova Scotia.]]>
