Woodland Ecosystems Urban Design (Tuesday)

Sponsoring Organization:  Rockville Science Center

Having a woodland ecosystem in your own backyard whatever its size is possible. With so many acres of habitat being bulldozed globally even your own backyard no matter the size can have a big impact on allowing the woodlands back in to the city and suburbia. Reforestation step by step but if we all make that choice the improvements in biodiversity can be huge!
