Synopsis

Discover 100 ways to support endangered plant and wildlife species in your community and beyond.

David Deardorff and Kathryn Wadsworth present 100 home projects designed to inspire and empower anyone who wants to help save our native flora and fauna in the face of habitat loss and climate change. This book focuses on saving creatures and plants that are especially vulnerable but that can be successfully helped by our efforts, such as bees, frogs, butterflies, birds, trees, and wildflowers. Each project meets four crucial criteria: (1) it will make a significant difference to the survival of the species, (2) has a high likelihood of success, (3) is easy to implement, and (4) is family-friendly.

The book raises awareness of endangered species that readers can help by undertaking projects unique to their bioregion. Examples include building an amphibian house for salamanders, raising tadpoles, creating nesting sites for bees, and much more. Saving Nature One Yard at a Time is an inspirational and practical compendium that will give listeners the knowledge and tools they need to take an active role in nurturing the world around us, no matter we live.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Amy Poulter on August 18, 2022

Very good information about what we can do in our yards and communities to support wildlife, but it was a little sparse; just bullet lists. I was looking for less about regional species and more about making changes to my yard.......more

Goodreads review by Nicole on March 08, 2025

Nothing groundbreaking or particularly informative here. A few nice descriptions of the natural world, but mostly just lists of here you might find different animals.......more
