Practical Conservation

Now that’s practical conservation!  Rain gardens for everyone.

Don’t own a farm?  You can still create riparian buffers along sensitive habitats adjacent to your yard.  Create a Backyard Buffer courtesy of the Wildlife Habitat Council.

EPA has resources for landscaping with native plants in the Great Lakes states.  Good resources for attracting bees and butterfiles to your yard.

The Pollinator Partnership is creating detailed guides for planting and landscaping to support pollinators (bees, butterflies, etc.) in agricultural lands, gardens and backyards.  Download a detailed book for each ecological region of the US HERE.
