You heard right! We're talkin' about killin' some lawns! In order to save the bees (and other animals)!
It might sound weird that someone working to improve the environment might tell you to kill plants, like your lawn, but I'm here to tell you that's exactly what today's guest says might be the best way to enhance the environment, support wildlife, and improve biodiversity. And he's right! What does that look like and why?
Danny talks about his experience in a variety of landscapes and ecosystems in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern United States. He might be a forest babe, but his love for the meadow and prairie is not overcast in shadow. In this episode, we get to know Danny a little bit more, the work that he does, and why some common practices are actually quite detrimental to the environment. What are the best practices to both support your friendly neighborhood invertebrates AND look wicked awesome? Danny's gots plants to tell you about, and ways to make the magic happen.
A two-part episode for sure. So here's Part 1 - Kill Your Lawn.
