Homegrown National Park featuring Entomologist Dr. Doug Tallamy
Explore why our parks, preserves, and remaining wild land, no matter how vast, are not enough to sustain our ecosystems. Learn about the importance of private lands and how a collective effort by landowners, managers, and civilians is crucial. Discover how small steps, such as reducing lawns, planting natives, and removing invasives, can contribute to the restoration of 20 million acres, equivalent to half of our current lawn area. Be part of this national movement for a healthier environment.
