Garry Plunkett has been studying New England plant ecology for thirty years. During that time he has created remarkable “backyard biodiversity” on his Tiverton property – to include a meadow. He completed the Native Plant Trust’s Advanced Certificate in Field Botany, and has taught in that program. He co-chairs the Open Space Commission in Tiverton, and is a principal steward for over 1500 acres of Tiverton’s protected natural areas, including Weetamoo Woods – Pardon Gray Preserve, Sin and Flesh Brook Natural Area, and the Pocasset Ridge Conservation Area.
The program is Free and Open to the public. For more information, visit the SGC website, sogkonate.org.
