Join us for an evening with Paul Resnik, as he shares his own
prairie experience along with Doug Tallamy's book
Nature's Best Hope: A New Approach to Conservation that Starts in
Your Yard. Paul will talk about the major obstacles that
homeowner's face converting lawn to prairie and how to overcome
those obstacles.

Nature's Best Hope by Douglas W. Tallamy
At 16, Paul spent a summer with the Youth Conservation Corps in
Davenport, Iowa where he worked with other teens building trails,
clearing trails, picking up garbage, and listening to Aldo Leopold’s
words during lunch breaks. He became a committed environmentalist
after that summer.
In the Spring of 2000, Paul planted a 4 yard wide
by 30 yard long prairie in his backyard. Since then, the diversity
of plant, insect, and animal life in his prairie patch has been
astonishing.
In the summer of 2022, Paul was accepted into the
Master Naturalist training program and became at Master Naturalist
in 2024. He is a member of the Peoria Audubon Society and The Nature
Conservancy. Paul has been married to his wife, Cheryl, for 29 years
and they have two grown children. Paul and his wife live in East
Peoria.
Meeting is live, in-person at Forest Park Nature Center in Peoria Heights and will be live-streamed on Zoom - Send email to peoriaaudubon@gmail.com
