From the Ground Up: Restoring New Mexico Ecosystems for Insects, Birds, and People
Restoring ecosystems often requires control of invasive species and weeds to allow desired native plants to establish. Herbicide is an effective tool, but can also cause unintended harm to ecosystems. Staff managing habitats like Bosque del Apache are now implementing pesticide-free techniques to control invasive weeds and preserve the health of soils, native plants, insects, and birds. Join as our panel, featuring experts from American Bird Conservancy, Xerces Society, Institute for Applied Ecology and Friends of Bosque del Apache, explores alternative ways of restoring habitats for the benefit of pollinators and birds, and learn practical tips and solutions you can implement at home.
