Marshall Brown, founder of the Long Island Conservation Alliance, is heading to the Babylon Public Library to talk about something that matters right in your backyard — native plants. Why do they matter so much to Long Island's ecosystems? What threats do invasive species pose? And what can you actually do about it in your own yard?

This free presentation covers the importance of native planting, the impact of invasive species, and practical steps every homeowner can take to support local wildlife. There's a Q&A session afterward, so bring your questions.

When: Saturday, September 19, 2026, 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM
Where: Babylon Public Library, 24 South Carll Ave, Babylon, NY 11702
