The New Garden Ethic:
Rewilding for People, Pollinators & Place
Keynote Speaker: Murray Fisher
Join us Thursday, January 15, 7:00 pm at the James A. Buzzard River Education Center for keynote presentation and panel discussion to explore how rewilding can transform both private yards and public spaces into vibrant, ecologically healthy landscapes. Through an engaging keynote from Murray Fisher and a panel conversation with local practitioners, the event will dig into the art and practicality of native planting, the challenges and opportunities of rewilding, and the role each of us can play in shaping a healthier, more connected Richmond. Guests will meet local partners, hear what rewilding means, and leave with inspiration and practical steps to strengthen the city’s green future—from the spaces outside their front doors to the parks and shared landscapes we steward together.
