Douglas W. Tallamy awakened thousands of readers to an urgent situation: wildlife populations are in decline because the native plants they depend on are fast disappearing. His solution? Plant more natives. In this middle grade adaptation of the New York Times bestsellerNature's Best Hope, Tallamy outlines his vision for a grassroots approach to conservation that everyone can participate in regardless of age.In Nature's Best Hope (Young Readers' Edition), Tallamy empowers kids to use their own yards to help combat the negative effects of climate change. He does so by breaking down complex concepts into simple terms and real-world examples that kids can easily grasp. Black and white photographs help further clarify concepts. In addition to sharing the science, Tallamy encourages kids to take direct action. Some of these ideas include planting an oak tree (one of the most important tree species) at home. If that's too large of a task, he suggests they can plant asters-a beautiful flower whose pollen bees use to feed their young. By helping the next generation see that they have power and agency over our collective future, this empowering book will drive home the positive point that kids are truly nature's best hope. 521 1 $a Age: 8-12 521 2 $a Grade: 3-7 521 $a Preadolescent. 650 7 $a JUVENILE NONFICTION / Science & Nature / Environmental Conservation & Protection $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a JUVENILE NONFICTION / Science & Nature / Environmental Science & Ecosystems $2 bisacsh 650 0 $a Conservation of natural resources $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Human ecology $v Juvenile literature. 650 7 $a Landscape gardening. $2 sears 650 0 $a Native plant gardening $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Native plants for cultivation $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Natural landscaping $v Juvenile literature. 650 7 $a Leisure. $2 ukslc 650 7 $a Environment & green issues $2 thema 650 7 $a Ecosystems $2 thema 650 7 $a Practical interests $2 thema 655 7 $a Non-Fiction 9+. $2 ukslc 655 7 $a Adaptations. $2 lcgft 700 1 $i Based on: $a Tallamy, Douglas W. $t Nature's best hope. 941 $a 1 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240710065605.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3C0C4E923E8411EFB3468F335DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
