Everyone can help our declining native species by planting a "little nature preserve" on their property, yard or even a small patio by incorporating native wildflowers and grasses that naturally grown in their region. Places like www.winterhavenfarm.us/ are transforming disturbed areas back to a more natural habitat on a larger scale and that is very important. Still, we all can help by planting native plants around yards, gardens and patios. Asters are a great plant as the native varieties are hardy and fill areas that are disturbed with non-natives. Even little plots offer nectaring breaks for bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and moths.
Plant some native wildflowers in your yard and see what comes to get a free meal!

I'm definitely on board gradually converting my lawn and woodland to native wildflowers. :)
