Description

How You Can Use What They Teach Us On Your Property, Large or Small. Please join Cheryl Joy Lipton at the Springfield Town Library to learn about the value of old trees and mature forests, the things you can do on your own property, whether it is a small yard or many acres, to replicate some of the valuable attributes of natural ecosystems. "Hold your Spring Yardwork and Cleanup until after this presentation. You'll learn how important it is to wait!"
