Help prevent the destruction of wooded habitats within your area by contacting your local leaders, mapping out existing green areas, and determining who owns those properties. Here are some other things you can do:
- Organize a community of conservationists to protect wooded areas. Check out our Resources section to find and join groups.
- Organize cleanup events in the early spring and late fall.
- Offer to adopt parks and wooded areas to keep them free of debris.
- Encourage your neighbors to dedicate at least 25% of their yards to native plants.
- Cook your own meals and grow your own vegetables. Less demand for prepared food means less land that will be developed for fast-food restaurants. Plus it reduces litter.
