Doug Tallamy studies insects and found special plants that are very important for nature. These plants provide food for insects, which then help other animals in the environment.

You can help nature by planting even one of these special plants in your yard. This will bring more different kinds of plants and animals to your area.

Here are some examples of these important plants that Doug Tallamy suggests. You can find more information about the best plants for your area on a special website.
