Presentation on the importance of native insects and how to help them  

On Saturday, May 27th from 9 AM to 10:30 AM, the community is invited to learn about the importance of insects and how we can help reverse the decline in our insect population. We are excited to welcome Dr. Jim Hogue, an insect admirer and expert, to the Rosemont Preserve. He teaches Evolution and Entomology (study of insects) at California State University, Northridge and he manages CSUN’s Biological Collections including about 100,000 insect specimens. Dr. Hogue co-authored the Field Guide to Beetles of California. He grew up in Los Angeles, earned a B.S. in Biology from UCLA and his M.S. and Ph.D. in Aquatic Ecology at Utah State University.

This event is free to the public and suitable for all ages. No reservation required. Rain cancels event. Sorry, no pets please.

The Rosemont Preserve is located at the north end of Rosemont Avenue, just past the chain-link fence (map). Please park at Two Strike Park, 5107 Rosemont Ave and walk 2 blocks North to the Preserve.
