Native Plant Conservation Campaign News: Listen to interview with Doug Tallamy about gardening with native plants  <https://ymlpmail2.net/imgz/09yp_nativeplantgardenTallamysm--1.jpg> to save wildlife

February 5, 2020

 

NPCC Advisor Doug Tallamy has used his books and presentations <http://www.bringingnaturehome.net/>  to convert thousands to “one of the great conservation movements of our time”:  gardening with local native plants to conserve and restore local wildlife and ecosystem services.

 

As humans have appropriated so much of the earth's surface, it has become more important that populated areas be designed to do as much as possible to protect and support life on earth.

 

Now Tallamy has published a new book, Nature’s Best Hope, which describes advances in our understanding of how individual homeowners can help fight the extinction and climate crises and save the planet…all by gardening with natives!

 

Listen to an interview with Tallamy <http://www.indefenseofplants.com/podcast/2020/2/2/ep-250-natures-best-hope-a-conversation-with-dr-doug-tallamy>  on the podcast In Defense of Plants <http://www.indefenseofplants.com/about> 

 

>From the book cover:

 

“Douglas W. Tallamy’s first book, Bringing Nature Home, awakened thousands of readers to an urgent situation: wildlife populations are in decline because the native plants they depend on are fast disappearing. His solution? Plant more natives. In this new book, Tallamy takes the next step and outlines his vision for a grassroots approach to conservation. Nature’s Best Hope shows how homeowners everywhere can turn their yards into conservation corridors that provide wildlife habitats. Because this approach relies on the initiatives of private individuals, it is immune from the whims of government policy. Even more important, it’s practical, effective, and easy—you will walk away with specific suggestions you can incorporate into your own yard. If you’re concerned about doing something good for the environment, Nature’s Best Hope is the blueprint you need. By acting now, you can help preserve our precious wildlife—and the planet—for future generations.”
