Bringing Nature Home: How You Can Sustain Wildlife with Native Plants, Updated and Expanded

Bringing Nature Home: How You Can Sustain Wildlife with Native Plants, Updated and Expanded

â€œA fascinating study of the trees, shrubs, and vines that feed the insects, birds, and other animals in the suburban garden.â€ â€”The New York Times
Â
As development and habitat destruction accelerate, there are increasing pressures on wildlife populations. InÂ Bringing Nature Home, Douglas W. Tallamy reveals the unbreakable link between native plant species and native wildlifeâ€”native insects cannot, or will not, eat alien plants. When native plants disappear, the insects disappear, impoverishing the food source for birds and other animals.
Â
But there is an important and simple step we can all take to help reverse this alarming trend: everyone with access to a patch of earth can make a significant contribution toward sustaining biodiversity by simply choosing native plants. By acting on Douglas Tallamy's practical and achievable recommendations, we can all make a difference.
