I recently published a podcast discussion with two extraordinary gardeners who happen to love native Wisconsin plants. They inspired me to read Bringing Nature Home,<\/em> by Doug Tallamy, which led me to interlibrary loan his follow-up book Nature’s Best Hope.<\/em> While waiting for that book, I’m reading New Naturalism,<\/em> by Kelly Norris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s my point? They converted me. I know very little about the difference between native rudbekia and non native rudbekia, but I now see there’s a difference, I want to understand it, and I believe it’s more important than I probably could have imagined on my own. So… let’s do something about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This blog post, which I will regularly update with links, videos, and other resources, will share the progress of our Door County High Schools Native Habitat Restoration project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, kids are the future, so they should play a part: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will use Project-Based Learning methods to allow Southern Door (and hopefully) Sturgeon Bay and Sevastopol students to learn, lead, and create as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Second, we need help, so we’ll be asking for plenty of it: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope to invite the City of Sturgeon Bay, Crossroads at Big Creek, the Door County Master Gardeners, and others to join and help us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third, the focus must stay primarily on Nature: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want the kids to learn, and we want everyone to be heard and involved, but we need a healthy Nature more than anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
