A zebra swallowtail showed up on our property this summer and laid eggs and now caterpillars. It’s been about 10 years since I planted a pawpaw tree here. We enjoyed spicebush swallowtail caterpillars on spicebush last year and found a cecropia moth cocoon on our persimmon tree that hatched this spring. So rewarding to follow Doug’s lead and now our neighbor is planting native plants! Seems to be catching on. Keep up the great work!
How can I become part of the education process. This is what I totally feel called for. I have a tiny foodforest and I watch biodiversity unfold. The more good and native plants I plant the more creatures show up, because they find food and shelter there ❤ it's quite simple. Thanks for all your programs. There is so much to learn and that we are not aware of ❤
I live in San Joaquin county, just south of Stockton. I planted two coastal live oaks instead of interior live oaks because they get bigger, and I don’t think they’re (Q. winslizeni) as drought tolerant. I hope they are as good for lepidopterans.
I live in southeast Pennsylvania, and I tried planting native oaks, maples, hickory, and shrub seedlings. They got eaten by deer. It's extremely frustrating that I have to wait to try again next year
Over 1/3 of all homes in the United States are governed by HOAs. You don’t have to convince the individual homeowners alone. You have to convince the HOA boards. Good luck.

The way to convince the HOA is by convincing the people who are associated. No one in charge will ever listen while the public is ignorant.
