Are You Ready to Make a Difference for Our Planet?
Let’s Work Together to Bring Nature Back Into Balance
The best way to begin this movement is to Stop Destroying and Start Restoring
the precious gifts Mother Earth has entrusted into our care.
I am passionate about cleaning up our environment and restoring the habitats/ecosystems necessary for pollinators and wildlife to flourish. Plants, shrubs, trees, insects, birds, and other creatures, including the two-legged variety, evolved over countless generations to depend on each other to survive and flourish.
Unfortunately, after the Industrial Revolution, things started going downhill. Humankind’s greed, selfishness, and ego disrupted the balance by destroying ecosystems, polluting the water, land, and air, poisoning the environment and ourselves, and leaving a mess behind.
How Do We Clean Up the Mess?
My solution is simple: Let’s Get Our Hands Dirty!
Plants need creatures to help them propagate. In return, plants provide food and shelter for the critters. In other words – No indigenous flora results in no indigenous fauna, and vice versa.
If we provide gardens filled with a diverse selection of native flowers, trees, and shrubs, the flying, fluttering, buzzing, creeping, hopping, walking, and slithering wildlife will take advantage of our goodness and repopulate the habitats.
All we need to do is replace the non-native, exotic, and invasive species of plants with the greenery nature intended. And don’t fret about the dirt under your fingernails. They eventually come clean.
If you’re not into gardening, don’t despair. Pollinator Conservation and Environmental Restoration involve more than just planting trees, flowers, and shrubs. To regain the balance Mother Nature intended, we must also counter pollution, global warming, overuse of pesticides, and the destruction of ecosystems.
There are countless ways we can make a positive impact. Through my newsletters, I hope to Educate, Encourage, and Empower everyone to find a niche where they can make a difference in this world.
New At This Stuff?
So am I!
Compared to some of us, I’m a novice at gardening. However, I’ve picked up some pointers from my research, talking with experts, experimenting in my garden, and using apps. Now, I can tell the difference between daisy fleabane and frost aster (a.k.a. beautiful native wildflowers).
That’s a great start.
Naturally, I’ll make mistakes along the way, but how else can I/we learn, right? I look forward to sharing my successes and failures with you, and I hope you’ll share yours with me so we can progress together.
Most importantly, though, we’ll be helping Mother Nature get things back under control. How exciting!
Join me and witness all the good things we can accomplish together. We’ll make a great team.
