Replacing invasive species with natives and mimicking regional ecosystems can help re-establish vital habitat. Regional ecosystems like prairies, wetlands, and forests are also typically carbon sinks, meaning they accumulate and store carbon, which is good for the planet.  

Join Tim Pritchard, Sustainability Manager with Five Rivers MetroParks to learn practical steps you can take to help restore habitat and make your yard not only beautiful, but wildlife and climate friendly.
