Your backyard is nature. A pot planted with coneflowers on your apartment patio is nature. That tree in the downtown boulevard? Nature!

Nature is all around us, and we're part of it! Many wildlife species are struggling, but anyone can take easy steps to help.

This week, the Everyday Environment team chatted with author, entomologist, and conservationist Doug Tallamy, whose work has transformed how we understand the vital relationships between native plants and wildlife.

You can support nature at home!
👩‍🌾 Plant native trees, flowers, grasses, and shrubs. The seeds and fruits they produce feed wildlife of all sizes. Their leaves and branches create habitat.

🌱 Start small. Even a few native flowers in a container can help pollinators.

🫶 Work with others. Talk to your neighbors and volunteer at local conservation organizations.
