The HAWK's Nest

Long past are the days when we automatically reached for a can of RAID every time we encountered an insect, spider, or ‘bug’. We all know that pesticides are over used and that they are not good for the environment, but do we really know all of the side effects of this once seemingly miracle invention?

Join Habitat and Wildlife Keepers (HAWK), on January 5, 2010, at 7pm, as we explore the world of INSECTS with Entomologist John Holmes. John will discuss past and current insect control practices as well as some of the repercussions of our past behaviors. We will look at some of the most common landscape 'pests' in the Charlotte area as well as some of the most beneficial organisms present.

Come and learn new ways of determining how to manage insects in the landscape. You will learn about the services insects provide and the major role they play in all of our lives. We are just now scratching the surface as to how intricately all organisms on our planet are connected and depend on one another, including us.

John Holmes is the Horticulture Program Chair at CPCC with a Master of Entomology from the University of Maryland. John has published several articles on Integrated Pest Management and is an expert on Tree and Plant Care. John and his wife are avid wildlife enthusiasts who spend most of the free time outdoors.

The meeting starts at 7pm on Tuesday, January 5, 2010, at the Matthews Community Center 100 McDowell Street, and is free and open to everyone. For more information, www.habitatsteward.org, HAWKNCWF@gmail.com or call 704 814 0877.
