Come learn how you can help reduce habitat fragmentation and
protect Cape Cod’s ecosystems when Brian Lawlor describes “The Vineyard
Habitat Network,” a program developed by The Nature Conservancy on
Martha’s Vineyard. One component of the program is the native plant
nursery on the Vineyard that produces local-origin native plants. Their
goal is to help landowners support bio-diversity and enhance ecological
resilience by mitigating impacts of fragmentation. Brian Lawlor was born
in Dennis and has done<br>
research on endangered species, education, gardening and land
management.<br>
Free with Museum Admission<br>
