This webinar builds on Tallamy’s newest book, How Can I Help?: Saving Nature with Your Yard, offering real-world solutions to the challenges people face when turning their landscapes into functional ecosystems. He addresses 500 of the most frequently asked questions about ecological landscaping. Topics include biodiversity, invasive-species control, native vs. non-native plants, oak biology, monarch butterflies, urban-habitat restoration, and more.

Whether you’re wondering which plants are truly native to your region, how to reduce your lawn’s impact responsibly, or how to support pollinators and birds throughout the seasons, this session will help clarify your next steps.
