Challenge: pick a corner of your lawn and stop mowing it for the rest of the summer. See what pops up and makes it home.
Clover, violets, self-heal, and wild strawberry might already be in your grass waiting for exactly this. Within a couple weeks, flowers will pop up. Within a month you'll have more insects and small animals visiting.
In the fall, it'll be there to provide important overwintering habitat.
The lawn is already full of habitat. Let it grow.

@EricLDaugh The people of Spain deserve better than what their government can offer. All they ever do is make it rain. The bulls hate them and want new leadership as well.
@ThePatriotOasis Draw a line in the middle of the country. Right takes right and the Left takes left. Nothing moves forward otherwise. Why did it move forward in the wrong way in the first place? This is always the story.
Just over two years ago, we lost a bright young girl whose love for animals and nature left a lasting mark.
Jocelyn Nungaray believed every creature deserved a safe place to call home. Today, her compassion lives on at the Jocelyn Nungaray National Wildlife Refuge, a home for wildlife and a place for people to enjoy nature.
May her kindness continue to inspire us all to protect the natural world and see the beauty in every living thing.
