Wednesday, January 28, 2026 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM Zoom Registration <https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/4OO3ZO3XT2epZAYXd1GaIw#/registration> Climate change is transforming local ecosystems, and plants are already adjusting. Some species we call “weeds” are doing important work - emerging in disturbed soils, responding to heat and water stress, and offering food or medicine. Join ecological restoration practitioner, Michael Yadrick, for this session which reframes habitat management as climate adaptation and explores how plants can guide our decisions about how we cool our green and blue neighborhoods. Rather than thinking in terms of “good” or “bad” species, we’ll focus on what plants are doing, which signals they respond to, and what they can teach us about living through change. Come ready to r(e)think weeds, climate stress, love for Land, and imagining better futures.
