This book focuses on scale. Douglas Tallamy explains how individual yards can connect to nearby parks, greenways, and other properties to create continuous habitat. You get a clear planning framework that shows where to start, how to place plants for function, and how to grow your effort over time without adding complicated maintenance.

Plan a connected yard that actually helps wildlife: Identify sunny and shady corridors, then place layered natives to feed insects and shelter birds. Replace select turf areas with beds that link one planting to the next. The result is a yard that plays a role beyond its fence line.

Prioritize plants that drive the biggest gains: Start with native trees and shrubs known for high ecological value, then add perennials for season-long support. The guidance keeps lists focused and practical, so you can stage your planting in affordable phases while still making measurable progress.

Protect what you build with everyday choices: Reduce routine pesticide use and remove invasive plants that undercut habitat. Keep leaves where practical to enrich soil and save time on cleanup. Smart lighting choices at night help insects while maintaining safety and visibility. These habits protect your investment and strengthen results each season.
