Doug Tallamy: Bringing Nature Home at Shippensburg University April 15, 2024

Information about the warming climate and loss of biodiversity paints a bleak picture, and we know that common landscaping practices contribute to these issues. Based on years of research, Tallamy highlights our role in the fascinating ecological networks that sustain us and offers simple steps that each of us can and must take to reverse declining biodiversity and the warming climate. He also explains why we must change our adversarial relationship with nature to a collaborative one and why we, ourselves, are nature’s best hope.
Tallamy is the T.A. Baker Professor of Agriculture in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware. He has authored 112 research publications, three books, and has taught insect-related courses for 43 years.
Tallamy is also the co-founder of Homegrown National Park, a nation-wide initiative to transform lawns to native meadows, grasslands, and forests to regenerate biodiversity, boost ecosystem services, and develop and enhance ecological networks.
