LLCT Book Discussion: Nature’s Best Hope by Doug Tallamy

Lincoln Public Library
3 Bedford Rd, Lincoln, MA 01773, USA

This book discussion is part of a series of public programs related to the Lincoln Pollinator Action Plan. Join in the reading and discussion of Doug Tallamy’s newest book, “Nature’s Best Hope: A New Approach to Conservation that Starts in Your Yard”.

Co-sponsored with the Lincoln Public Library. The library has ordered copies of the book, so stop by the front desk to reserve a copy! Books will be circulating for one week, to give as many people as possible a chance to borrow a copy. On April 16th, we will gather in the Tarbell Room for an informal discussion-a time to share thoughts and get excited about spring planting for biodiversity!

Douglas 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.
