SUMMARY:Conservation on Tap
DESCRIPTION:Discover Life in America: Dig Deeper into Our National Park\n\n\n\nGreat Smoky Mountains National Park comprises more than 522\,000 acres\,half of which are in Tennessee and half in North Carolina. The park is themost biologically diverse in the entire U.S. national park system. It’s also themost well-studied\, thanks to the ongoing All Taxa Biodiversity Inventory(ATBI). From Discover Life in America—the organization tasked withmanaging the ATBI—Will Kuhn and Todd Witcher will talk about this ground-breaking project\, how it helps the park\, and some of its most excitingdiscoveries. You’ll also learn how you can get involved including using theiNaturalist nature app to help identify and document life by recording speciesyou encounter in the park and in your own backyard. \n\n\n\nSpeaker Bios \n\n\n\n\nDr. Will Kuhn is Director of Science and Research at Discover Life in America. He’s an entomologist and aspiring naturalist\, who loves learning about the flora and fauna of the Great Smoky Mountains.\n\n\n\nTodd Witcher is Executive Director of Discover Life in America. He’s a biologist\, educator\, naturalist\, and conservationist who’s worked in this field for almost 40 years.

Many of these are insects and nearly all species at risk rely on insects. Insects have already declined 45% since 1974. The most alarming part of this statistic is that we don’t seem to care\, despite the fact that a world without insects is a world without humans! So how do we create beautiful landscapes brimming with life; landscapes that support the pollinators\, herbivores\, detritivores\, predators and parasitoids that run the ecosystems we depend on? Tallamy will remind us of the many essential roles insects play\, and describe the simple changes we must make in our landscapes and our attitudes to keep insects on the ground\, in the air and yes\, on our plants. \n\n\n\nDoug Tallamy is the T. A. Baker Professor of Agriculture in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware\, where he has authored 111 research publications and has taught insect related courses for 41 years. Chief among his research goals is to better understand the many ways insects interact with plants and how such interactions determine the diversity of animal communities. His books include Bringing Nature Home\, The Living Landscape\, co-authored with Rick Darke\, Nature’s Best Hope\, a New York Times Best Seller\, The Nature of Oaks\, winner of the American Horticultural Society’s 2022 book award. In 2021 he co-founded Homegrown National Park with Michelle Alfandari. His awards include recognition from The Garden Writer’s Association\, Audubon\, The National Wildlife Federation\, Allegheny College\, Ecoforesters\, The Garden Club of America and The American Horticultural Association. \n\n\n\nTickets are $10 and may be purchased below \n\n\n\n\nTickets for “An Evening with Doug Tallamy \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Park Vista \n\n\n\n705 Cherokee Orchard Road \n\n\n\nGatlinburg\, TN 37738
