Doug Tallamy says keystone plants are “Natives that are essential to our ecosystems….”

For our Chapter’s 25^th anniversary, we are honoring our keystone members who have been an essential part of our ‘ecosystem’ for 20 years or more.  Several will be featured each month, July through October, starting with those who have been members for at least 20 years and working up to those who have been members for 24-25 years. 

See how we’re avoiding using the word ‘oldest’!? 

We hope you enjoy reading these posts about our members!
