Speaker: Sarah F. Jayne

Jayne will discuss things we can all do to implement Dr. Doug Tallamy's guidelines for making our residential properties more welcoming to native insects, birds, and other wildlife by removing non-native and invasive plants, installing appropriate native plant species, and other actions. Jayne's book "Nature's Action Guide: How to Support Biodiversity and Your Local Ecosystem", published in 2024, is based on Dr. Tallamy's books "Bringing Nature Home: How You Can Sustain Native Wildlife" and "Nature's Best Hope" and principles encouraged by the Homegrown National Park initiative.

Sarah F. Jayne is an environmentalist, educator, and wildlife advocate who has gardened for over 45 years from California to the East Coast. Her book Nature's Action Guide: How to Support Biodiversity and Your Local Ecosystem is a companion to Doug Tallamy's Nature's Best Hope and features 15 urgent actions to support biodiversity. Sarah’s work has been featured in The Joe Gardener Show, A Way to Garden podcast, Homegrown National Park, and the New York Times.
