I’ve converted the bulk of the lawn on my lot back to prairie/woodland opening, and I feel like everyone is much more chill. I now have wasps, yellowjackets, and of course bees amicably buzzing around, in addition to the WASPs telling me how much they like it.
I love that! I actually haven’t read that one- but SER press is always good. Thanks! I’ve been trying to experiment with small scale prairie restoration at my home- I have one garden going on 2 years old, and one going on one. Going to try interplanting with edibles and see how they compare with my raised bed stuff. I’ve been giving out seed and instructions with how to establish it in a box on the sidewalk. I wish there was a way to non-intrusively have people submit location/condition info, because I feel like it’d be cool to map/develop an urban/suburban ecological corridor
