 Sacajawea Audubon Society and the Valley of Flowers chapter of Montana Native Plant Society are pleased to co-host a special holiday program featuring best-selling author and native landscaping advocate Doug Tallamy. Doug will discuss findings from his latest book Nature’s Best Hope and share simple steps that each of us can – and must – take to reverse declining biodiversity in our world.

Mr. Tallamy brings a new approach to conservation that starts in our own yards.  By landscaping with native plant communities that sustain food webs and biodiversity, we can enhance local ecosystems rather than degrade them.  If we do this in half of the area in America we now have in mowed lawns, we can create a new Home-grown National Park — a 20 million acre network of viable habitats that will provide vital corridors connecting the few natural areas that remain.
