Plant Local MV
Plant Local MV is a collective of conservation groups, botanists, and landscaping practitioners focused on building our resilience to climate change by incorporating plants native to the island into yards and commercial landscapes.
Hi everyone! We’ve got an exciting event coming up that we want to get on your calendars. On Saturday, February 1st, at 3:30PM, for Matt Pelikan will give a talk on Native Pollinator Plants at the West Tisbury Library. Matt is the program director of the Martha’s Vineyard Atlas of Life (MVAL) and a lifelong naturalist. He is part of BiodiversityWorks, an organization that focuses on wildlife conservation, education, and research.
This talk is in collaboration with the MV Community Seed Library, an organization that brings the knowledge of how to save seeds back to our island community while creating a central space where seeds can be freely shared. This work directly supports the mission of the Plant Local MV movement.
Join us and please help spread the word!
Save the Date: Saturday, February 1, 3:30PM at the West Tisbury Library
