We're Spreading Hope—Here's How

Picture
Doug Tallamy, wildlife ecologist, entomologist and author of the bestselling book Nature’s Best Hope, came to Madison via Zoom to explain how each of us can help birds and pollinators right in our own yards. Together,
we can create a biodiverse patchwork that Tallamy calls a “Homegrown National Park.”

Here are six takeaways from Doug Tallamy's Madison talk, in the Madison Eagle.

​Watch Tallamy's Madison video, which we highly recommend. 

Check out Tallamy's hub on Homegrown National Park.

Find out which of your plants host the most caterpillars of butterflies and moths (essential food for birds) on the Tallamy-produced Native Plant Finder site.

Visit our Supporting Pollinators page for many other helpful resources, including the essential Guide to Landscaping With Native Plants in Northern New Jersey, where to buy native plants, and more!
