Select your Registration $20 Member $30 Gen. Admission Resize text Designing a garden, whether small or large, means considering many factors. Ecologist Shaun McCoshum offers innovative conservation and ecological ideas to create a garden in a way that he says can help restore broken natural processes and build resilient ecosystems. While native plants are essential, McCoshum believes it’s also important to understand the needs of animals, their habitats, and how natural systems work together. He even explains how to replicate the roles of animals not likely to be in the typical backyard, including bison, wolves, and beavers. McCoshum’s new book, Natural Habitats and Wildlife Gardening: Inviting Nature into Your Backyard (Princeton University Press), is available for purchase.
