Centennial Lecture Series

"Nature's Best Hope" by Doug Tallamy

About this Topic: Recent headlines about global insect declines and three billion fewer birds in North America are a bleak reality check about how ineffective our current landscape designs have been at sustaining the plants and animals that sustain us.  Such losses are not an option if we wish to continue our current standard of living on Planet Earth. The good news is that none of this is inevitable. Choosing the right plants for our landscapes will not only address the biodiversity crisis but help our climate crisis as well. Tallamy will discuss simple steps that each of us can- and must- take to reverse declining biodiversity, why we must change our adversarial relationship with nature to a collaborative one, and why we, ourselves, are nature’s best hope. 

About this Speaker: Doug 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 112 research publications and has taught insect related courses for 42 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 (HomegrownNationalPark.org). His awards include recognition from The Garden Writers Association, Audubon, The National Wildlife Federation, Allegheny College, Ecoforesters, The Garden Club of America and The American Horticultural Association.

Rowan's Centennial Earth Day Celebration: BioBlitz

More info here!

The Rowan BioBlitz is a campus-wide event involving students, faculty, and the community where participants will check in at a central location at TimeSweeps.  They will then be tasked with going to a specific location on campus (for example, the woods at Engineering, the rain garden by Robinson, the stream by Science Hall) and will identify as many plants and animals as possible using the App iNaturalist.

The objective is to provide Facilities and SEE with information about what is living here on campus, either native or invasive species - and allow us to make progress toward being more sustainable.  It also gets people to spend time outdoors and see parts of the university they might not have explored before.  In addition to the mian BioBlitz portion, we are planning on having various speakers throughout the day in the Discovery Hall lobby presenting about various nature-based topics that will be on a schedule distributed in advance.  These speakers will be a mix of faculty members and local experts.

• April 24th

  • From 9:00am-9:00pm
