About this listen

From a New York Times bestselling author, a wildlife ecology expert and environmental advocate provides listeners with the next step in their ecological journey.

In How Can I Help?, Tallamy tackles the questions commonly asked at his popular lectures and shares compelling and actionable answers that will help gardeners and homeowners take the next step in their ecological journey. Topics range from ecology, evolution, biodiversity and conservation to restoration, native plants, invasive species, pest control, and supporting wildlife at home. Tallamy keenly understands that most people want to take part in conservation efforts but often feel powerless to do so as individuals. But one person can make a difference, and How Can I Help? details how.

Whether by reducing your lawn, planting a handful of native species, or allowing leaves to sit untouched, you will be inspired and empowered to join millions of other like-minded people to become the future of backyard conservation.

Critic Reviews

“Tallamy is one of the most original and persuasive present-day authors on conservation.”—Edward O. Wilson, University Research Professor Emeritus, Harvard University
“Here is one area where individual action really can help make up for all that government fails to do: your backyard can provide the margin to keep species alive. Mow less, think more!”—Bill McKibben, author of Falter

“Even a single person acting boldly with [Tallamy’s] goal in mind could be a crucial source of inspiration for others around them.”—Associated Press
