AT:Pollinators and the Powerhouse Prairie Plants They Love by Lauren Simpson

July 28, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Free

Lauren educates about pollinators (and other insects), their conservation, and the urban wildscapes supporting them. That is her passion outside of teaching legal research and writing at the University of Houston Law Center.

In this presentation, Ms. Lauren Simpson introduces our pollinators and their needs, showcases prairie plants that help them thrive, and shares management techniques to welcome pollinators into any garden.

Since early 2015, Lauren Simpson has spent her spare time transforming her Houston home gardens into a pollinator-friendly habitat, currently a Certified Wildlife Habitat (National Wildlife Federation), a Monarch Waystation (Monarch Watch, Waystation No. 10925), and a Certified Butterfly Garden (North American Butterfly Association). She promotes pollinator conservation and wildscaping through presentations, events, interviews, a website, and an educational Facebook community entitled St. Julian’s Crossing-wildlife habitat–the name adopted for her family’s Monarch Waystation. Ms. Simpson is a member of the Native Plant Society of Texas (Houston Chapter) and the North American Butterfly Association (Butterfly Enthusiasts of Southeast Texas Chapter). She has also received Level 1 and Level 2 certifications through the NPSOT Native Landscape Certification Program (NLCP), has attended the “Monarch Conservation Workshop: Train the Trainer” training, and chairs the NPSOT subcommittee for the Advocacy companion class to NLCP Level 4.

Ms. Simpson is a Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Houston Law Center, where she teaches Lawyering Skills and Strategies. She is a spring 2016 recipient of the University of Houston Teaching Excellence Award (Instructor/Clinical category); one of three 2018 AALS Teachers of the Year selected by the Law Center; and the 2017, 2018, 2019 (co-recipient), and 2021 Student Bar Association Professor of the Year for Law Center faculty teaching in the part-time program.
