4 Universal Landscape Goals; Doug Tallamy is the man. His national backyard national parks ....

... program is very important.

There are four ecological functions every landscape must perform if we are to achieve a sustainable relationship with the natural world that support us (and continuing to insist on landscapes that do not sustain mother nature is not and has never been a realistic option). It’s really very simple; our landscapes must do the things that enable ecosystems to produce the life support we and every other species requires.

1) They must support a diverse community of pollinators throughout the growing season.
2) They must provide energy for the local food web.
3) They must manage the watershed in which they lie.
4) They must remove carbon from the atmosphere where it is wreaking havoc on the earth’s climate.

How well a landscape accomplishes these goals depends on how well we, as landscape managers, choose and deploy the plants on our landscapes.
