Dr. Nash Turley co-founded the non-profit “Lawn to Wildflowers” to inspire people throughout the country to convert grass lawns to native wildflowers and make that process as easy as possible.
A plant and insect ecologist and Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Central Florida, Dr. Turley knows wildflower and pollinator biology, the ecological impact of mowed grass lawns around the nation, and the importance of converting lawns to native wildflowers.
Through interactive online and mobile app tools, Turley is teaching people how to identify pollinators, and he is enlisting the public to collect data on pollinators so we can better understand where they are declining and why. In this presentation, Dr. Turley will demonstrate pollinator ID and data collection using mobile app tools.
The program will be aired on YouTube Live — search YouTube for Orange Audubon Society, on which channel the program will be archived for later viewing. It will pop up on that OAS’ YouTube channel at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, March 18th. Join us for an exciting presentation.
