Appreciating Some Backyard Wildness

Tuesday, April 14, 2026
12:00 pm1:00 pm

Join Conservation Nebraska and Justin Evertson, Green Coordinator for PlantNebraska, to learn about trees and shrubs you can plant in your backyard to support wildlife.

"Appreciating Some Backyard Wildness" is about the idea of relaxing about the backyard and appreciating a little wildness and serendipity. Less fussing over the lawn and a little more acceptance of what wants to grow there. When we tolerate a few dandelions, clover, violets, milkweed etc. the yard will be easier to manage, less resource intensive and more inviting to wildlife. The backyard is also a good place to trial a variety of purposefully placed native plants that benefit wildlife. Justin's presentation will cover some of the best plants to use with an emphasis on 15 trees and shrubs to plant more of.
