SOLD OUT!!! But…if you didn’t manage to get a ticket, we still encourage you to wait in line the day of the event. While we can’t guarantee a seat, there’s a chance some may become available.
On Sunday, September 15th, 2024 (1:30 pm-4 pm) the South Bend community and Corbett Family Hall, on the campus of Notre Dame, will host acclaimed author and professor Douglas Tallamy for his “Start a New Habitat: Homegrown National Park” keynote event. Tallamy, whose groundbreaking book “Nature’s Best Hope” sparked a national movement around restoring local ecological networks, will inspire our community to transform their residential landscapes into flourishing biodiverse sanctuaries.
Dr. Tallamy will be signing books before and after his talk. You can purchase his books and others at the event or bring your favorite for him to sign. Additionally, there will be educational booths from local community partners.
Dr. Tallamy’s presentation is being sponsored and supported by many groups in the area, including the South Bend Chapter of Wild Ones, The North Chapter of the Indiana Native Plant Society, South Bend-Elkhart Audubon Society, Notre Dame Environmental Change Initiative, and many others.
