We ♥️ saving the bees. But keeping honey bees will not help the 3,600 bee species native to North America. In fact, it might do the opposite. The best solution to bee declines is to address underlying causes like habitat loss. Flowers can support all bees! xerces.org/blog/want-to-save…

It's firefly season! Summer brings flashing bioluminescent lights to dark skies. Who wouldn't be mesmerized? The U.S. is home to over 150 species of fireflies. Help us conserve them by observing responsibly. Learn more at xerces.org/endangered-specie…

Migration Alert!! 400 million birds will be migrating tonight—a good time to turn off nonessential outdoor lighting and to treat reflective windows to keep birds safe. Learn more at birdcast.info/science-to-act… #LightsOut #LightsOutAlert

My latest storymap features Soft Landings, a concept developed by Leslie Pilgrim and me. This concept builds upon @DLNarango's research on leps and host plants. Soft Landings are diverse native plantings under the dripline of keystone native trees. Link: arcg.is/1Lvry

Found a downed willow on the side of the road and tried to root some stems for the yard hedgerow. It worked!! Willows (Salix) are FANTASTIC super trees for biodiversity. Important early pollen for bees and host plant for hundreds of moth & butterfly caterpillars #nativeplants

Nice! @TKDano in @washingtonpost. You can already see the hate coming in the comments, but all written based in fact. Honey bees are a threat to native pollinators - period. Interested in 🐝 conservation? Build habitat, don't buy bees - of ANY kind! washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Opinion | Backyard bees disfigure yards in ways we are only beginning to comprehend

Are urban beekeepers making it harder for native bees to thrive?

"It turns out I’ve been filling my yard with a mix of ecological junk food and horticultural terrorists." 😆 wapo.st/3KmL8rC

Opinion | I’m no genius with genuses, but your garden is killing the Earth

Your lawn and garden are helping to doom the Earth. If you want to save the planet, all you really need to do is plant a single oak tree.

50 years ago, the seed of a simple idea came to life in @NWF's National Wildlife Magazine: people can create impactful wildlife habitat at home. Since then, #GardenForWildlife has blossomed into a nationwide movement to create more wildlife habitats. bit.ly/GFW50Years
