We'll also have a wreath making workshop hosted by Wild Ones member Wendy Kahler. 

Light refreshments will be served. There is a suggested donation of $10 per wreath and weaving project, to help us cover the costs associated with these activities.

In this webinar, Lucas Rhoads, Senior Attorney with NRDC’s Pesticides & Pollinators Team, will share expert insights on how neonics impact our environment and pose serious risks to human health. He’ll delve into the harms associated with neonic-treated seeds, which are a major source of contamination, and explore effective policy advocacy strategies to rein in their widespread use without disrupting farmers or landscapers.
