Learn how to make your landscaping more resilient to changes in climate, from planting native species to increasing the plant diversity in your lawn and garden. We’ll provide a list of native plants suitable for our coastal climate that are expected to persist under milder conditions. 

Nancy Sferra is recently retired from a career with The Nature Conservancy in Maine where she was the Director of Land Management. She lives in Bath and has been slowly replacing portions of her lawn with native plants and re-wilding the corners of her yard. 

This program is part of a continuing series of Bath Climate Conversations focused on learning, discussing, and connecting around ways to sustain and support our vibrant town as climate change occurs.

Hosted by Bath Climate Action Commission in partnership with KELT and the Patten Free Library and presented in person and on Zoom.
