‘Jim’s superb guide will motivate landowners to embrace their environmental responsibilities no matter what ecosystem they live in.’
Douglas Tallamy – Author of Bringing Nature Home and Nature’s Best Hope
SUBURBITAT – will be a great benefit to city planners, developers, landscape architects, HOA boards, homeowners, and anyone interested in creating beautiful landscapes that restore native biodiversity and conserve natural resources. This book offers detailed strategies for establishing and managing native landscapes, including grasses, shrubs, and flowers, that help to reduce demands on dwindling water supplies while restoring natural habitat. However, this is more than simply a book on gardening with native plants; it addresses human obstacles to conservation, including preconceptions about how landscapes should look, while advocating strategies for working with rather than eradicating wildlife.
Jim Tolstrup is executive director of the High Plains Environmental Center in Loveland, Colorado, a unique model for preserving native biodiversity in the midst of development. Jim is committed to engaging people with diverse points of view (environmentalists, business people, and community members) in an inclusive dialogue about preserving and restoring the natural world.
