Let’s Make Our Neighborhood More Environmentally Friendly!

Are you interested in learning what we can do to help our yards and community support nature? Here are links to a couple of videos featuring Dr. Doug Tallamy, an entomologist at the University of Delaware and a leader in promoting ways we can help the ecosystem by becoming part of what he calls the Homegrown National Park. Both of them are appropriate for the entire family, entertaining and visually striking.

If this interests you, contact Barbara Blaylock at b.blaylock@verizon.net to join a group of neighbors interested in educating ourselves, encouraging each other, and figuring out what we can do in our own yards and in our community spaces to help. Among other things, at least some of us would like to involve neighborhood kids in learning more about nature and this is a good way to start.
