Doug Tallamy is a widely acclaimed professor in the Dept. of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware. Read about his inspired Homegrown National Park initiative HERE.

Nature’s best hope, in his analysis, is… ourselves! We, the human race, have disturbed the symbiotic balance between insects and plants, between those and birds and all other vertebrates. We destroy inter-species interactions at our peril, and if we continue to impoverish the living earth, our own food supply will perish.

What can we do as individuals? Welcome biodiversity to our own properties by turning lawns into meadows, choosing native plants, shunning pesticides and herbicides, and nurturing organically rich soils.

The Green Team, through our Living Landscapes project, enthusiastically supports Dr. Tallamy’s call for a “Homegrown National Park” in our collective back yards (and, of course, in the properties of businesses, non-profits, schools, and municipalities). We can all be part of restoring nature to the healthy, symbiotic state that evolved into the world around us. Let us, together, create a “Homegrown Chester County Park”!
