Grow Native Massachusetts wraps up its 2013 Evening with the Experts at the Cambridge Public Library, 449 Broadway, Cambridge on Wednesday, June 5, from 7 – 8:30, welcoming Dave Barnett, President of Mount Auburn Cemetery, who will speak on The Restoration of Consecration Dell.  At the heart of Mount Auburn, Consecration Dell is a landscape of great beauty and a hot spot for birding. Yet not long ago, it was overrun by invasive species and suffering from erosion. With their commitment to stewardship, Cemetery staff have spent over a decade restoring this special place, establishing a thriving community of native plants and improving vital habitat for wildlife. This story is full of lessons about the significant challenges and rewards of ecological restoration. Dr. Barnett is a respected ecologist and horticulturalist, as well as the President of the Cemetery. Free and open to the public.  Photo from www.inktalks.com.
