Honey Island Group Gen. Mtg- How to Create Habitats for Beneficial Insects

Teri’s informative talk will teach us about insects that are beneficial to our gardens (and nature in general), and which plant species are valuable to help keep them in our gardens. She has extensive knowledge on not only the types of plants, but additional suggestions on how to maintain our gardens so as to benefit these useful creatures.

The Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation is a non-profit environmental organization that focuses on the conservation of invertebrates considered to be essential to biological diversity and ecosystem health.

Teri's love of nature started at a very young age. She grew up on a large farm in Ohio, and spent her days playing in the woods, picking wildflowers, and lying in the shade of understory trees marveling at plants, bugs, lichen and mosses.
Her most recent conservation activities include the following:
2000-2005 Volunteer Interpretive Guide at the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and Preserve in Barataria
2018-Present Certified Louisiana Master Naturalist of Greater Baton Rouge
2022-Present Founding Member of the Wild Ones Pontchartrain Basin Native Plant Society
2023-Present Volunteer Ambassador with the Xerces Society
