About this listen

As development and subsequent habitat destruction accelerate, there are increasing pressures on wildlife populations. But there is an important and simple step toward reversing this alarming trend: Everyone with access to a patch of earth can make a significant contribution toward sustaining biodiversity.

There is an unbreakable link between native plant species and native wildlife - native insects cannot, or will not, eat alien plants. When native plants disappear, the insects disappear, impoverishing the food source for birds and other animals. In many parts of the world, habitat destruction has been so extensive that local wildlife is in crisis and may be headed toward extinction.

Bringing Nature Home has sparked a national conversation about the link between healthy local ecosystems and human well-being, and this audio edition will help broaden the movement. By acting on Douglas Tallamy's practical recommendations, everyone can make a difference.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Living in NE PA, it was a great surprise that the author is from the same area and provides a lot of info from this region. A lot of well presented information, I would definitely recommend for anyone even slightly interested in reclamation ecology.

Great listen!

I found this book to be life changing. I ripped most plants out (except mature trees) and we are going with all natives. A lot of species noted are from the East, however he does provides a website where you can search for native plants in your area. The website indicates which plants are most valuable to wildlife.

I have listened to this book more than 15 times. It has inspired me to completely redesign my gardens to support biodiversity. There are a few aliens remaining, my beloved Japanese maples, but the rest is all focused on building a sustainable habitat for our birds and insects. I am forever grateful to Mr. Tallamy for writing this book. Let’s all go native!

I love this book!
