The World Wildlife Federation's 2022 Living Planet Report confirmed what many of us with our hands in the dirt already knew - wildlife populations have experienced average decline of nearly 70% since 1970, with a chilling 10% occurring in the last 4 years. Loss and fragmentation of habitat is the driver of biodiversity loss globally. The good news? Homeowners and businesses are eager to reverse this trend by making their properties sustainable, functional and resilient.

Join Jeff to explore innovative methodologies from a practitioner and small business owner's point of view; using real data, tips and talking points for landscapers and implementers seeking to make the shift towards ecological design-build.
