Douglas Tallamy and Pete Muroski on Nature's Best Hope (3/27/20)
Douglas W. Tallamy’s first book, “Bringing Nature Home,” awakened thousands of readers to an urgent situation—wildlife populations are in decline because the native plants they depend on are fast disappearing. His solution? Plant more native plants. In this new book, “Nature's Best Hope: A New Approach to Conservation that Starts in Your Yard,” Douglas takes the next step and outlines his vision for a grassroots approach to conservation, demonstrating to homeowners everywhere how they can turn their yards into conservation corridors and wildlife habitats. In this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large on WBAI, Douglas W. Tallamy is joined by regular contributor to the show, Pete Muroski of Native Landscapes for a look at how to make a difference in your front yard.
