Homegrown "National Park"

Have you transformed part of your garden into wildlife friendly habitat? Join the free Homegrown National Park effort founded by Doug Tallamy, author of Nature's Best Hope, which invites everyone to add native plants to their home landscapes and add their efforts to the collective map.

"Our National Parks, no matter how grand in scale are too small and separated from one another to preserve species to the levels needed. Thus, the concept for Homegrown National Park™, a bottom-up call-to-action to restore habitat where we live and work, and to a lesser extent where we farm and graze, extending national parks to our yards and communities.” - Doug Tallamy

Doing this provides the ecological networks that connect preserved habitat fragments with one another sustainably enlarging populations of plants and animals.

The map will be a community-based visual that will show each person’s individual contribution to planting native. The HGNP Map will gauge the success of reaching our goal of 20 million acres of native planting in the United States! Help us by getting Jericho represented on the map.
