Saving Nature One Yard at a Time
How to Protect and Nurture Our Native Species
2 of 2 copies available
David Deardorff and Kathryn Wadsworth present 100 home projects designed to inspire and empower anyone who wants to help save our native flora and fauna in the face of habitat loss and climate change. This book focuses on saving creatures and plants that are especially vulnerable but that can be successfully helped by our efforts, such as bees, frogs, butterflies, birds, trees, and wildflowers. Each project meets four crucial criteria: (1) it will make a significant difference to the survival of the species, (2) has a high likelihood of success, (3) is easy to implement, and (4) is family-friendly.
The book raises awareness of endangered species that readers can help by undertaking projects unique to their bioregion. Examples include building an amphibian house for salamanders, raising tadpoles, creating nesting sites for bees, and much more. Saving Nature One Yard at a Time is an inspirational and practical compendium that will give listeners the knowledge and tools they need to take an active role in nurturing the world around us, no matter we live.

Michael Butler Murray is a capable narrator of this work about attracting native birds, insects, and mammals to your backyard. But the structure of the book makes listening difficult. Murray presents the text clearly at a pace that's easy to follow. His voice has a bit of a lilt when the author anthropomorphizes some of the critters. But each chapter includes a chart of selected species and their habitats. These are hard to follow in audio. Web addresses for environmental organizations are similarly difficult to remember. Each section contains down-to-earth suggestions on how individuals can improve their homes to become more wildlife friendly. These are clearly the book's most important aspects.
