Hello gentle readers, and I hope you are taking care and staying safe during this pandemic. One of the safe and healthy things to do is walking in the park, – just keep six feet apart from other walkers and remember to offer a smile, which makes us all feel better.
I decided to share the above article on wise management of parks and our own yards for the health and resilience of people and wildlife, which features the native plant expertise of Doug Tallamy.
For those who are familiar with his books, Bringing Nature Home (2007) and (with Rick Darke) The Living Landscape (2014), – his newest book, Nature’s Best Hope (2019) is out now. It’s a good time to read.
