Environmental Series – The City for the Trees
2026-03-24 18:00 - 19:00 | Dragon Tale Books
The City for the Trees
More than any other color, green signifies life. Not the red of iron-rich blood. Not the roaring yellow of the sun. Plants provide the structure, the baseline, the foundation for everything that lives, and if you consider trees, perhaps the walls and roof as well. Join Steve Betchkal for a viewing of the Emmy-nominated series that describes the critical importance of Green Space in our functional daily lives. In person or via Zoom

Environmental Series – Plant Native, Make an Impact
2026-03-26 18:00 - 19:00 | Dragon Tale Books
No matter the size of your outdoor space, everyone can add native plants to where they live. Why would you choose native plants and how would you get started on deciding what to plant? Anna DeMers of Tamarack Wetland Services, LLC in Rice Lake will share the benefits of native plantings, as well as some plants that grow best in our area (wetland and upland, full sun to full shade). She’ll share a few methods for getting your future planting in the ground as well as how to keep it looking nice for both pollinators and neighbors. If you want to plant a few native plants, have someone do it for you, or are ready to plant a few acres into a larger habitat, this talk is for you!
