Whether you’re a seasoned environmentalist or just curious about greener living, come connect with fellow readers who care about the natural world.
Name of the book: Nature’s Best Hope: Doug Tallamy’s Nature’s Best Hope: A New Approach to Conservation That Starts in Your Yard
Social Date: March 26th, 6pm at Petty Thieves Brewing Co.
Quick Synopsis: Nature’s Best Hope presents a hopeful, action-oriented approach to conservation, arguing that reversing biodiversity loss doesn’t only depend on large parks or government policies, but on everyday people transforming their own yards into wildlife-supporting habitats. Tallamy explains why native plants matter for insects, birds, and entire ecosystems, and gives practical steps for homeowners to replace lawns with native species and create interconnected ecological corridors he calls a “Homegrown National Park.” His message is that ordinary landscapes, collectively managed, can help sustain nature and combat environmental decline.
