Join the Ecological Landscape Alliance and tour guide Paul Kwiatkowski on Wednesday, September 14 at 10 am to learn about the Wildlife Action Plan at Mount Auburn Cemetery. This walking tour will include highlights of the ongoing work to create and sustain important ecosystem functions on this 175-acre property in Cambridge, MA. This multi-year project enhances wildlife habitat while also encouraging visitors to reconnect with the landscape. Paul Kwiatkowski will discuss how they developed and implemented projects ranging from finding the necessary funding and creating a citizen science volunteer program to addressing storm water management concerns, reintroducing native amphibians, and selecting native species for pollinator habitat creation. The Wildlife Action Plan has inspired staff and visitors alike to push the boundaries of expectation is helping Mount Auburn to evolve into an urban wildlife refuge. $23 for ELA members, $28 for nonmembers – See more at: http://www.ecolandscaping.org/event/49836/#sthash.dc63kNwk.dpuf.
