About the Speaker
Pam Karlson is an artist, public speaker/educator, wildlife advocate, habitat reservationist, and gardener. While any of these endeavors could be full time vocations, given her passion for each. Pam has managed to integrate all of them into her career and daily life. As one melds into the other, Pam Karlson has discovered a path to creating healthy habitats that invite birds into her garden in a joyful way; to connect art, nature and support of bird populations.
Pam Karlson lives in Chicago; her photographs feature her home garden which attracts birds and other pollinators. She will share tips that focus on landscape enhancements, practices and plants with an emphasis on native species. The connection between Milwaukee’s importance to the migratory route, bird species diversity, habitat, diet, foraging, nesting and citizen science will also be discussed.
Doug Tallamy fans will be pleased to know that Pam’s city garden is featured as an exemplar of powerful urban lots in his new book Nature’s Best Hope: A New Approach to Conservation That Starts in Your Yard.
