SUMMARY:Master Naturalist Mondays: Native Plants for Native Pollinators
DESCRIPTION:July 28th\, 2025| 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm (CST) Register Here   \nUsing Native Plants: The Why\, What\, and How \nPresenter: Cathy Prettyman\, native plant gardener\, Nebraska Master Naturalist\, Native Planters of Blair\, Pollinator Alliance of the Heartland \nPresenter Bio: I’ve always had a love of nature. As a child I collected butterflies\, kept caterpillars as pets and explored the woods behind our home. I have been birding and gardening for over 30 years. I moved to rural Blair in 2015 and I fell in love with the prairie and learned about its plants. I became a Nebraska Master Naturalist in 2018 with the desire to learn more about our great state and to teach others the importance of the natural world. I am  involved with the PATH\, Pollinator Alliance of the Heartland\, a Nebraska based organization promoting the use of native plants in our landscape. I have helped design\, plant and maintain pollinator gardens at Ft Atkinson State Park in Ft Calhoun. I created and led the charge to plant a pollinator garden at Black Elk-Neihardt park in Blair and with the help of volunteers\, continue to maintain. I am involved with other Blair projects. Last year was the Blair  Main Street revitalization. I helped with selection and design of sidewalk beds using native plants. This year I’m designing native planting beds for the new dog park and an Art Alley project to be installed hopefully this fall.  Another project\, at the historic Florence Mill in Omaha\, is using native plants and trees to educate the public on the uses of the plants. This spring we added a native tall grass bed behind the mill.  \nThis webinar is part of the Master Naturalist Mondays webinar series. Nebraska Master Naturalist is a statewide volunteer conservation program.  Our program recruits\, trains\, manages\, and provides resources for our volunteer naturalist members. We use four strategies to meet Nebraska’s conservation needs\, Habit Stewardship\, Community Science\, Environmental Education & Interpretation\, and Outdoor Recreation & Skills.   \n  \nThis free webinar series will host a variety of presenters and subject matter within these four conservation strategies. Master Naturalist Mondays is a space to connect us to our conservation motivations and inspirations\, and our Naturalist community across the state of Nebraska.  \n  \nAll webinars will be recorded and found HERE. \nFor further details visit our website\, HERE. \n  \nFor questions\, email jamie.bachmann@nebraska.gov
