WOODVILLE, WI – After a kick-off event in January the Community One Read event is set to wrap up on Thursday, April 11, 2024. The event, a collaboration of Baldwin, Deer Park, Glenwood City, Hammond, Woodville Public Libraries, and Botany Belles and Beaus Garden Club, featured the book “Nature’s Best Hope” by Doug Tallamy.

Based on the official book description; Douglas W. Tallamy’s first book, “Bringing Nature Home,” 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 new book, Tallamy takes the next step and outlines his vision for a grassroots approach to conservation. 

Nature’s Best Hope” shows how homeowners everywhere can turn their yards into conservation corridors that provide wildlife habitats. Because this approach relies on the initiatives of private individuals, it is immune from the whims of government policy. Even more important, it’s practical, effective, and easy—you will walk away with specific suggestions you can incorporate into your own yard.
