In celebration of Arbor Day on April 29, folks learned about the benefits of a more natural world ― and how we can make our own yards and towns more natural. Neuroscientist Susan Masino and naturalist Margery Winters shared simple changes you can start making that will be good for you and for the birds, bees, and other creatures that call Connecticut home. During the webinar, Susan and Margery shared their experiences collaborating on Simsbury’s Open Space Master Plan to ensure the long-term health and integrity of their town.
