Conservation practices close to home

Douglas W. Tallamy organizes this guide around questions commonly raised at his lectures, connecting broad subjects such as ecology, evolution, biodiversity, and conservation with choices people can make in yards and gardens. The topics include native plants, invasive species, pest control, restoration, and ways to support wildlife at home. Examples named in the description—reducing lawn area, planting native species, and leaving fallen leaves in place—give the book a practical, household-scale frame for its conservation material. Its scope moves between explaining ecological issues and considering how individual outdoor spaces might contribute to conservation efforts.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Gardeners interested in native plants and wildlife-friendly practices
  • Homeowners exploring practical ways to take part in conservation
  • Readers seeking an introduction to biodiversity, restoration, and backyard ecology

Book overview

From a New York Times bestselling author, a wildlife ecology expert and environmental advocate provides readers with the next step in their ecological journey.

In How Can I Help?, Tallamy tackles the questions commonly asked at his popular lectures and shares compelling and actionable answers that will help gardeners and homeowners take the next step in their ecological journey. Topics range from ecology, evolution, biodiversity and conservation to restoration, native plants, invasive species, pest control, and supporting wildlife at home. Tallamy keenly understands that most people want to take part in conservation efforts but often feel powerless to do so as individuals. But one person can make a difference, and How Can I Help? details how.

Whether by reducing your lawn, planting a handful of native species, or allowing leaves to sit untouched, you will be inspired and empowered to join millions of other like-minded people to become the future of backyard conservation.
