Im glad people are finally listening to the original ancestors of this land. We are still here. Love and respect.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I have been converting my 7 acre Indiana property into a native habitat for the past 5 years. So delighted to come across your presentation which confirms why I chose to invite the native wildlife to my little plot of land that God provided me to steward. Your detailed information gives me pause…but also, encouragement for our world.

I am going to start this in the UK! Get out to your Nurseries and Garden Centres and encourage them to start spreading the word! Consumer power!

I had no idea there are so many kinds of caterpillars! Thank you for this fascinating and inspiring program. My own Homegrown National Park project begins!

Thank you!

Such an inspiring video! Thank you Dr. Tallamy for being a force for positive change in our world!

Thank you Dr. Tallamy for your knowledge and sharing with us.

Thank you. This is the best.

Plant native pipe vine! Only host plant for the beautiful pipe vine swallowtail. Easy to grow and runs underground.

Just great! What a wonderful, helpful presentation. Sorry I couldn’t watch live so I could ask ALL my questions!

What are your questions?

59 species of birds! Dang that's great! HOW MANY BIRDHOUSES DID YOU PUT OUT?

“We can turn this around if we all take plant stewardship a little bit more seriously, and put the plants back that support the life around us.” Thank you Doug!

I'm 71 always had a vegetable garden and for 5 years no bug killing poisoning. I have a "wild garden " that hopefully provides homes for insects any type hopefully benefactor insects that helps my garden. But I just have a open door and don't know what lives in my wild garden. I'm using lots of mulch leaves and grass clipping and seeing lots of spiders in my garden. I also have almost O bugs on my green beans. My last 3 years something that I am proud of. 👏 Yes being a better Stewart of my land is important for all humanity worldwide

I'm in north west, Indiana as well and I'm turning my utility easement into a wild meadow ecosystem this year 2023..

Good day. Really enjoy your videos. On looking back at your oak seminars... I was wondering what your thoughts are on the other nut trees we encounter, ie... chestnuts, horse chestnut, ohio buckeye, butternut, walnut etc. I am currently working on a reclamation project in a locally known dog park. Trying to use most noted trees and shrubs that are growing in the area, namely... ash leafed maple, burr oak , beaked hazelnuts etc. What are the benefits of these trees in the landscape namely the chestnut family. Looking forward to your thoughts. Respectfully Robert MacDonald

Hi Robert, We think those trees must have plenty of caterpillars as trees that have been part of the Eastern forests for a long time. Since your location is much farther north than Florida, we know little specifically about those. Email Dr. Tallamy at dtallamy@udel.ed to ask. Thanks for trying to create habitat Deborah for Orange Audubon

I finally have my garden and replacing old plants for native❤❤❤..i am close to nature preserve with los of oaks😂😂😂

Gather a few bags of acorn in the Fall. Every Interstate journey you make, have your passenger fire them out of their window. Create a tapestry of keystone plants around the country. It should be a tapestry not a jigsaw!

I'd photograph a spinx moth in Iowa that a professor in Mississippi that had only one very old and very poor photo that he had ever saw to identify the moth.I proud that he asked if he could have copy rights to use in a book he was writing.. I have the photo but lost my P C picture. I seen thousands and hundreds of Monarchs in the woods in Iowa about 20 years ago they were dripping out of trees at the break of day one morning hunting and didn't know I'd ever see anything so magical and yet they were dropping like leaves then flying into the tree tops and flew away above the trees.

Are all oak trees created equal in their attractiveness to caterpillars?

50 50 now

I ripped up my whole pointless lawn this year after moving to this house and planted all natives. I hate lawns!

We need to be advocating for a world beyond capitalism and it’s inherent degradation!

I love your article but don’t believe the UN crap, also I have just as many birds now as before.
