Show Notes

“And when I say ecosystem function, I mean, functions that are important for human survival. This is not just because I think ecology is cool and native plants are neat, but I think I want a world where my children and my grandchildren will survive.” - Tom Kaye

We are talking about how wild plant populations are responding to climate change and what humans, both ecologists, and home gardeners, might do to encourage healthy and diverse ecosystems.

Tom Kaye is the executive director at the Institute for Applied Ecology in Corvallis, Oregon where his team is working to conserve native species of plants and animals, and doing ecosystem restorations.
