Bringing Nature Home: How You Can Sustain Wildlife with Native Plants

Discover how to create thriving ecosystems in your own backyard with Bringing Nature Home, the updated and expanded edition of Douglas W. Tallamy’s groundbreaking guide. This essential resource (Softcover | 360 pages) highlights the critical connection between native plants and wildlife conservation, offering practical solutions for restoring biodiversity and protecting local ecosystems.

Tallamy explains the unbreakable link between native plants and native wildlife, emphasizing that most native insects depend on native plant species to survive. When native plants disappear, so do the insects—leading to declines in essential food sources for birds, pollinators, and other animals. As habitat destruction and urban development continue to threaten wildlife, the simple act of planting native species can have a profound impact on preserving nature.

Key takeaways include:

• Why native plants are essential for supporting local wildlife populations.
• The dangers of invasive species and how to replace them with native alternatives.
• Simple steps for transforming gardens, yards, and landscapes into biodiversity hubs.
• Practical recommendations for choosing native plants to attract birds, butterflies, and beneficial pollinators.

Accessible, inspiring, and deeply practical, Bringing Nature Home empowers anyone with a patch of earth—large or small—to make a meaningful difference. By choosing native plants, you can help reverse habitat loss, sustain wildlife, and restore harmony to the environment.
