[APWG] NEWS: Ketzel Levine Reviews Doug Tallamy's new book "Bringing Nature Home"

[oldefarm at windstream.net]

Bringing Nature Home by Doug Tallamy is a great book!
And it is easy to read. 
I would recommend it to everyone. Even if you think you know why 
it is important to use native plants in your landscape - you will
learn more. For those who are skeptics - he has the research.
I am buying copies for my local library.
