    Exploring The Life Underground: The Fungus Among Us

    West Hills County Park Ridge Drive and Overhill Road, Melville, NY, United States

    Soil health is essential to forest health. But what constitutes soil health? Biologist Frank Piccininni takes us on a journey to the life underground at West Hills County Park. There, he will show how fungal networks help determine the composition of the forest above, what trees and plants flourish where, and how invasive plants disturb the order of things below and therefore above.

    Plants: Native, Non-Native and Invasive at Hempstead Public Library April 23rd at 7!

    Hempstead Public Library 115 James A. Garner Way, Hempstead, NY, United States

    Long Island needs its native plants. Without them, we lose our local wildlife. Most of what is available for sale, however, are non-native. Non-native plants provide little sustenance for our local creatures. They weren't adapted to feed from them, that's our bees, or birds, or butterflies. Worse, we have to contend with invasive plants, some of which are still for sale here locally. Invasive plants actively destroy native habitat and hasten the departure of our local wildlife.
