ECOLOGY WHERE WE LIVE
Why plant with native plants?
HABITAT LOSS. We have lost vast amounts of native habitat.
FRAGMENTATION. What remains is all chopped up and eroding at the edges.
NATURE NEEDS IT. Plants, animals and other organisms need large, connected areas of habitat to survive in the long term.
WE NEED IT. You may not know this, but healthy nature provides services for us that we can't live without.
How do I do it?
