Plants can provide for wildlife and support the local ecosystem even when they’re dead! Learn how you can help wildlife in your yard by providing areas of dead vegetation, including tree snags, brush piles, and leaves. Leon County Extension Agent Mark Tancig will explain how we can help in our own yards.
Mark has been the Commercial & Residential Horticulture Extension Agent at the UF/IFAS Leon County Extension Office since 2016. In this role, Mark shares research-based best practices for sustainable landscape management with green-industry professionals and residential homeowners. Mark also coordinates the Leon County Master Gardener Volunteer Program.
Mark has lived in Tallahassee since 2003 and is originally from West Palm Beach. He enjoys living in Tallahassee with his wife, two kids, dogs, flock of chickens, and herd of worms. Prior to joining UF/IFAS, Mark worked for Leon County’s Public Works Department for six years and Growth and Environmental Management Department for three years. His first job in Tallahassee was a Field Biologist with Florida Natural Areas Inventory.
Mark graduated from the University of Florida with a bachelor’s degree in Botany in 2002 and is currently working on a master’s degree in Soil and Water Science at UF.
IMPORTANT UPDATE: This year we have been assigned parking in the Stadium Drive parking garage, off of Spirit Way. Please park on the second floor or above. We will have people outside directing program attendees to the appropriate areas.
