NATURE'S BEST HOPE

Douglas W. Tallamy, Professor of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware and author of "Bringing Nature Home" has a new book, "Nature's Best Hope – A New Approach to Conservation That Starts in Your Yard." Tallamy asks all who own or care for even the smallest properties to plant half in native species. He calls this the Homegrown National Park. The goal is to restore wildlife corridors and connect them with others. People benefit as well, from the thrill of discovery and a renewed connection with nature.
