Think Science: Repopulating Native Areas
For decades, American cities paved the way for population growth with more pavement. But in recent years, planners have recognized the importance of native species in the ecosystem, leading to the restoration of rivers, creeks, and other areas toward a more natural state. The reintroduction of a species is the latest step in the effort to preserve plants, animals, birds, and insects that are endangered.
Here in San Antonio, the Mission Reach along the San Antonio River is thriving, and work is ongoing for the creeks of the citys westside.
At this Think Science event, well learn about the process of restoration, and whats in the future at the intersection of urban landscapes and natural areas, and a little about how your own land can benefit from native plants.
Guests:
Wendy Leonard, City of San Antonio Parks and Recreation
Lee Marlowe, San Antonio River Authority
Bill Neiman, Native American Seed
Moderator: Nathan Cone, Texas Public Radio
Support for this event comes from the Sierra Club, San Antonio Water System, and Mitchell Lake Audubon Center.
