The “Study Buddies” are reading and discussing all remaining sections (Chs. 9 - 11, and the FAQs) of Douglas Tallamy’s book, Nature’s Best Hope. The group also will reflect on the book as a whole and self-evaluate accomplishments relative to these goals: shrink the lawn; remove invasive species; plant for specialist pollinators; network with neighbors; build a conservation hardscape; create caterpillar pupation sites under your trees; eliminate use of chemical sprays or fertilizers; educate your neighborhood civic association.
