Art Of Taste Evangeline
The Saskatoon berry is a native fruit of Western Canada that was traditionally used as a major food source by Indigenous peoples. However, the berry is now under threat due to loss of habitat and the historical knowledge around its use is at risk. Efforts are being made to cultivate the berry commercially and promote its market, but disease and pest problems present challenges to production. Renovation of orchards aims to address disease issues and promote new growth.
Benefits from planting trees
Planting trees provides numerous benefits to families and communities. Trees combat climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. They clean the air by removing pollutants and filtering particulate matter. Trees also provide shade which helps cool streets and cities, while conserving energy by buffering wind and rain. Additional benefits include preventing soil erosion, supplying food, and creating economic opportunities through products like wood and fruits. Trees bring people together, increase property values, and provide habitat for wildlife.
Bodin_Wildflower_Koi
Sandy Koi discovered a rare atala butterfly feeding on coontie plants during a tour of a native plant garden in 2001. The atala butterfly was thought to be extinct but had been rediscovered in 1979. Koi made the conservation of the atala butterfly her life's work, organizing two reintroduction efforts and now studying them for her PhD. The atala butterfly population relies on the coontie plant for food and had declined as the coontie population was reduced by development in South Florida. Native plant gardens help support the recovery of the atala butterfly by providing habitat for coontie plants.
Ginseng, Goldenseal, and Other Native Roots
This document provides information on several native North American medicinal root crops, including ginseng, goldenseal, black cohosh, and blue cohosh.

Growing native plants in the willamette valley
This document discusses growing native plants in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. It notes that gardening with natives is different due to Oregon's dry summers and wet winters, and variable soil types. Gardening with natives is beneficial as the plants are easy to care for, provide natural beauty, and support wildlife. The document provides examples of public and private gardens using natives and discusses pioneers in the native plant movement like Thomas Jefferson. It recommends starting with well-known natives and matching plants to garden conditions before exploring new species, and provides a list of favorite native plants for the region.

Wildflowers for the Home Garden
With so much of the state converted to agriculture and urbanized areas, it is ever so important that homeowners create mini-refuges on their properties when possible. Native wildlife need native plants to survive and there is a lot the average person can do to create habitat for these organisms in their own yards. Botanist Chris Benda will take the audience on a tour of Illinois by region, highlighting the many showy and interesting wildflowers that can be found in each region of the state. Emphasis will be on easy to grow species that are available in the nursery trade.

Biodiversity Conservation Amanullah Adeel
This document discusses various methods for biodiversity conservation, including national parks, sanctuaries, biosphere reserves, zoos, botanical gardens, and gene banks. It defines biodiversity as the variety of life on Earth and its interdependence. National parks strictly protect areas of biodiversity and prohibit activities like forestry and grazing. Sanctuaries also protect biodiversity and allow activities like tourism and research. Biosphere reserves aim to promote sustainable development through local community efforts. Zoos house endangered species for conservation and recreation. Botanical gardens cultivate and display plant diversity. Gene banks preserve genetic material from plants and animals, similar to financial banks preserving money.
