The sound may have some vibrations from Mars, that may been mixed with some earthly winds.

No trees? Hope we'll start focusing on this planet NOW....

This is incredible

Nature's Best Hope is rocking the continent! Let's make this happen. If you have not read this book or Doug Tallamy's message, put in in your que ASAP. He's got the best environmental message since Rachel Carson's "Silent Spring". @GNPSociety @ProtectsTrees #planttrees #GoNative

A native plant book on the NYT best seller list? Yes, Doug Tallamy! https://t.co/SFJqyqmHnB Now you can be #naturesbesthope #plantsgivelife

[AtlantaProtectsTrees @ProtectsTrees]

Who knew? Right in our own back yard. Each and every one of us can pitch in to help save our beautiful Earth. And the #1 best plant to put in your yard- if you have the room? The Mighty White Oak, Quercus alba. We can do this folks!

[Georgia Native Plant Society @GNPSociety]

#DougTallamy spoke at our conference today - we stopped to admire a blooming #prunuscaroliniana on the way #naturesbesthope is *our*yards!

American Beech. One of the treasures of our native forests. Their leaves lightly dance across fall & winter landscapes with younger trees offering a wintry fence line throughout the landscape. Feeding wildlife. "Elephants" of the plant kingdom. #GoNative #SaveOurForests 🌳🌲❣️

[Georgia Native Plant Society @GNPSociety]

American beech #fagusgrandifolia has some great golden #FallFoliage right now. This #nativetree is found statewide. #GoNative

Bigleaf magnolia (Magnolia macrophylla) is one of the other species of native magnolia blooming now (yesterday we shared Magnolia virginiana). Bigleaf magnolia has the largest single leaf of any North American native plant. #magnolia #nativeplants #nativebeauty #fragrantflower

It's mountain Laurel Time! Loving the great beauty of our native trees, plants and wildlife! Plant native for birds+wildlife+insects=people. https://t.co/dfsiWI1an6

[Georgia Native Plant Society @GNPSociety]

Mountain laurel (Kalmia latifolia) is a beautiful native shrub. It is starting to bloom now. This photo was taken on the Pine Mountain Trail at FDR State Park. Works well in gardens too. @GaStateParks #getoutside #gonative

Best time of the year to remove Privet when it's easily seen! Pls don't spray with Roundup. Best way is to pull by the roots & destroy. Privet is starving our birds in the wild and crowding out our native trees & plants. #privetpull #GoNative #ProtectTrees #plantforbirds https://t.co/XzkrFeXqAk

[Georgia Native Plant Society @GNPSociety]

Non-native Ligustrum sinense, aka: Privet is blooming now. A category 1 invasive plant in GA & the SE. Evergreen & adaptable, it can be found in many environments & easily seen on roadsides crowding out native plants. #GoNative #PrivetPull #Plantforbirds

Fothergilla is a great native shrub for full sun; this one is Fothergilla 'Mt Airy', blooming now for early butterflies. #plantnative

[Georgia Native Plant Society @GNPSociety]

Hummingbirds have returned to Georgia and are looking for some of their favorite native plants - like this red columbine (Aquilegia canadensis). #nativeplants support #nativebirds #gonative #springblooms

Trees are cleaning our planet all around the world. Protecting them everywhere helps everyone-including wildlife and pollinators. We need more trees now more than ever. #ProtectsTrees https://t.co/DoCldVj4q9

[Little Green Space 🦋 @LGSpace]

They clean the air we breathe, cool us down, warm us up and provide homes for wildlife - just a few reasons why we think trees are awesome!

Time to start thinking about the trees in your yard, and the plants that live beneath them. The GNPS plant sale will have plenty of experts at their sale to help guide you through the selection process! #PlantNative #plantforbirds #feedthebirds #feedthepollinators https://t.co/PM5cVeWmXi

[Georgia Native Plant Society @GNPSociety]

We're getting busy for our spring native plant sale on Saturday, April 7 @ McFarlane Nature Park 10 AM-2 PM 1,000's of sun+shade native plants; some of them local rescues! Volunteers will help you make your selections. 300+ native azaleas! #GoNative #nativeplants

[AtlantaProtectsTrees @ProtectsTrees]

Great Article on our trees! It takes 2 specimen trees for 1 person to breathe healthy air. That means a family of 4 needs 8 mature trees. Make more native trees a goal! https://t.co/v5bGZjZy2I
