Join Douglas Tallamy, author of Nature's Best Hope, for a virtual presentation on Homegrown National Park®, a grassroots call-to-action to regenerate biodiversity and ecosystem function.
As individuals, we can create diverse ecosystems in our yards, communities, and surrounding lands by reducing lawns, planting native plants, and removing non-native invasive species. The initial goal of HNP® is to create a national movement to restore 20 million acres with native plants, an area representing ½ of what is currently private property in the United States. We are at a critical point where we are losing so many native plants and animal species that our natural life support is in jeopardy. However, by making small changes, we can restore healthy ecological networks and weather the challenges ahead.
