7:40 pm "Why Native Plants?" presentation by Marcia Goodrich, President, Wild Ones Keweenaw Chapter

Marcia has served as president of Wild Ones Keweenaw Chapter since its charter in 2019. Wild Ones provides resources for environmentally friendly native plant landscaping. Wild Ones local chapters help to preserve biodiversity through the preservation, restoration, and establishment of native plant communities.

Marcia has been an avid native plant gardener for over 15 years and is in the process of re-landscaping the garden surrounding the Houghton home she shares with her husband, two cats, and a dog. She is also a member of the Hancock Beautification Group and the Keweenaw Garden Club.

 Her presentation will focus on the importance and function of native plants not only in wild places, but also in our yards and communities.
