How Can I Help? - Saving Nature with Your Yard

In How Can I Help, Doug Tallamy-a New York Times bestselling author and the cofounder of the nonprofit Homegrown National Park-gives his expert answers to questions commonly asked over the course of his career as an environmental advocate. This must-read book provides readers with the next step in their ecological journey. With the publication of Bringing Nature Home in 2009,  Douglas Tallamy ushered in what is now considered one of the most important movements in gardening-the important role native plants play in attracting beneficial pollinators.
With Nature's Best Hope, Tallamy expanded his audience from gardeners to homeowners with a passionate advocacy that detailed how everyone with a yard can make a positive environmental impact. In How Can I Help, Tallamy explores the questions commonly asked at his popular lectures, sharing compelling and actionable answers that will help readers take the next step in their ecological journey. Topics range from ecology, evolution, biodiversity and conservation to restoration, native plants, invasive species, pest control, and supporting wildlife at home.
Tallamy keenly understands that most people want to take part in conservation efforts but feel powerless to do so as an individual. But one person can make a difference and How Can I Help details exactly how. Whether by reducing your lawn, planting a few native species, or allowing leaves to sit untouched, you will be empowered to take the next step and join millions of other like-minded people to become the future of conservation.
