Speciation Book Club: Nature’s Best Hope by Doug Tallamy

Speciation has a book club! We read Nature nonfiction books, and have a casual discussion for about an hour. We meet every two months, giving you plenty of time to read the book. Generally, we pick books around 300 pages long. If you are interested in joining us, just read the book and pop into the next meeting! This month’s book is Nature’s Best Hope by Doug Tallamy 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 natives. In this new book, Tallamy takes the next step and outlines his vision for a grassroots approach to conservation. Nature's Best Hope shows how homeowners everywhere can turn their yards into conservation corridors that provide wildlife habitats. Because this approach relies on the initiatives of private individuals, it is immune from the whims of government policy. Even more important, it's practical, effective, and easy--you will walk away with specific suggestions you can incorporate into your own yard. If you're concerned about doing something good for the environment, Nature's Best Hope is the blueprint you need. By acting now, you can help preserve our precious wildlife--and the planet--for future generations.
