We know you want to save the planet, make where you live more beautiful, and get involved in worthwhile causes. So here are five ways to make a difference:

• Plant native species in your garden, to replace your lawn, and even on the roof of your shed
• Advocate for native plants in your town’s public spaces, for state legislation to reduce pesticide use to save pollinators, and for state and federal protection for endangered plants
• Join a local group working to control invasive plants
• Learn more by taking classes or coming on our field studies
• Volunteer with us
