Please join us for this in-person and virtual hybrid event! We'll be discussing Doug Tallamy's Nature's Best Hope, with guest Sarah Franklin Jayne, author of the upcoming book Nature's Action Guide.

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.

More information about our guest:

Sarah Franklin Jayne is an author, educator, and plantswoman. She has worked intensively with plants and wildlife for over four decades from California to the East Coast. She earned a degree in agriculture from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and went on to own and operate an organic market farm and nursery. Later, inspired by Doug Tallamy’s urgent call to action in Bringing Nature Home, Sarah transformed her approach to landscaping. Recognizing the pivotal role that each person can play in addressing the biodiversity crisis, she experiments with methods to manage ecological landscapes that enable people who may have limited resources and little or no gardening skills to encourage biodiverse ecosystems that support wildlife where they live. Sarah lives in Oxford, Pennsylvania surrounded by a small but lively wildlife habitat. Find out more about Sarah at www.naturesactionguide.com.
