FROM THE WEEKLY PODCAST
how conservation starts in your yard, with doug tallamy
‘NATURE’S BEST HOPE’ is the title of University of Delaware professor Doug Tallamy’s new book, and the subtitle reads like this: “A New Approach to Conservation That Starts in Your Yard.” In other words, you and I are nature’s best hope. Our actions count, and they add up to counteract a fragmented landscape and other challenges to the survival of so many critically important native creatures and the greater environment we all share.
Doug Tallamy’s 2007 book, “Bringing Nature Home,” has been for many of us a wake-up call into the entire subject of the unbreakable link between native plant species and native wildlife, and now with more than a decade of additional research insights, he goes further.

Well done and very much appreciated. I adore the redesign!
Wow, it’s like you have a new haircolor, or a bit of botox! Same A Way to Garden, but jazzier!
I like the look! For some reason, on my browser (sad old IE 7 at work), the bar with green stripes, your picture, and the quotation, “never stop wanting more plants…) sits right across the middle of the screen, blocking whatever is behind it. Right now it sits just below the “Post Comment” button.
Thanks, Elizabeth, and thanks for the specifics. It will take a little while to sort out various browser display issues, but so good to have the details of the IE7 one.
Nice! I like the crisp, clean look. It has a cozy feel. I’m glad the slide show is still prominent; it makes me smile when the page loads and a beautiful photo is right there.
Really like the new site! Esp the calendar with TO DO tasks!! v nice.
