SUMMARY:Gardening Green Expo 2026
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, March 16 – Friday\, March 20 – Zoom lectures @ 7:00pm\nLive Expo at Kennedy’s Country Gardens on Saturday\, March 21 from 10:00am-2:00pm\nOn Saturday – New This Year – Park at Oro and Take Our Shuttle \nThe theme for this year is: Help Heal the Planet\nMost of us remember a time when windshields needed frequent cleaning from insects and yards were alive with birds and butterflies. Fields once held cocoons\, chrysalises\, and egg cases\, and backyards teemed with insect and bird life. Today\, these are far less common\, raising the question: where have all the birds and bugs gone? \nSince the 1970s\, North America has lost more than three billion birds—nearly one-third of its population. Insects\, the foundation of the food web\, have declined by over 40%\, with some regions experiencing losses of up to 75% of flying insects. A single chickadee requires nearly 9\,000 caterpillars to raise one brood; when insects disappear\, birds cannot survive. Habitat loss\, pesticide use\, and climate change are the primary drivers of these declines. \nWe can do our part to help heal the planet by making thoughtful choices at home. Planting native species that require less water and fertilizer\, avoiding pesticides and herbicides\, and creating backyard habitats for insects can make a meaningful difference. Gardens can become vital links in pollinator corridors\, helping restore ecosystems one plant choice at a time. \nZoom Presentations at 7:00pm\nMonday\, March 16 – Garden for LIFE: Using Native Plants in the Landscape to Support Wildlife – Kristen Nicholson\, Blue Stem Natives – See video below \nTuesday\, March 17 – How Can I Help? – Saving Nature With Your Yard\, Episode 2 – Doug Tallamy\, entomologist\, conservationist\, author\, and professor at the University of Delaware – See video below \nWednesday\, March 18 – Restoring Personal Ecology: How Principles of Nature Heal Our Overwhelm – Todd Breitenstein\, South Shore Permaculture/Our Grateful Garden – See video below \nThursday\, March 19 – When the Lights Go Out: The Secret World of Fireflies – Blake Dinius\, Plymouth County Extension – See video below \nFriday\, March 20 – Habit to Habitat: Transforming Landscapes into Resilient Ecosystems\, from Conception to Maintenance – Evan Abramson\, Founder and Principal of Landscape Interactions \nREGISTER FOR ZOOM PRESENTATIONS \nLive Presentations at Kennedy’s\n10:00am – The Path to the Perfect Plants – Chris Kennedy\, Owner\, Kennedy’s Country Gardens \n11:00am – Less Raking\, More Biodiversity – Lisey Good\, Founder\, Wild Cohasset \n12:00pm – Changing Forests: Beech Leaf Disease\, Emerald Ash Borer and Other Invasive Pests Affecting Our Landscapes – Abraham Monahan\, Bartlett Tree Experts \n1:00pm  – Caring for the Soil\, Making Compost and Leaving the Leaves – Jon Belber\, Holly Hill Farm \nRegister to Win Prizes!\n\nSigned copy of Doug Tallamy’s book Nature’s Best Hope\nA rain barrel from the WaterSmart program\n$50 gift card from Kennedy’s Country Gardens\n1/2 Lb.

SUMMARY:Marsh Madness South River and Coastal Exploration Walk 2026
DESCRIPTION:Marsh Madness South River and Coastal Exploration Walk\nRexhame Beach\nSunday\, March 29\n10:00-11:30am \nJoin the NSRWA in a guided walk around the salt marshes and shores of the South River during a high tide. \nSalt marshes are critically important wetlands found along our estuaries\, coastal communities\, and ecosystems. Salt marshes\, along with dunes and barrier beaches\, work together and form our best defense against coastal storms and flooding\, as well as provide a key habitat for local wildlife. \nLearn about these important\, unique\, and often overlooked places along our rivers and coasts. Discover their history\, how have they changed over time\, and hear how they helped shape our communities. We will discuss ways we can help salt marshes and surrounding habitats continue to function as a critical part of our coastal ecosystems and how sea level rise is and will continue to impact them and us. \nThis event is FREE\, however\, registration is required. Families welcome\, no dogs please. \nREGISTER HERE \n

SUMMARY:SPRINGING TO LIFE: A Guided Vernal Pool Discovery Walk
DESCRIPTION:SPRINGING TO LIFE: A Guided Vernal Pool Discovery Walk\nSunday April 19\, 2026\n10:00-11:30am\n \nAs we turn the page to spring\, many ecosystems are beginning to emerge from a long winter. Vernal pools are unique and important habitats here on the South Shore. Also known as ephemeral wetlands\, vernal pools are seasonal wetlands that are home to many fascinating animals\, including amphibians and fairy shrimp. In fact\, some species are vernal pool obligate species\, meaning they are only found in or around vernal pools. \nJoin the NSRWA as we take a lovely walk at Denham Pond in Hanover to several vernal pools and look for the amazing life that call these special places home. \nAddress: 106 Circuit Street\, Hanover\, MA – Driveway is easy to miss. Look for the green sign indicating conservation area. Slowly drive down dirt path into grassy parking area. \nThis is a FREE event\, registration is required. Great for all ages! Families welcome. No dogs please.  \nREGISTER HERE \n
