I will plant native species, landscape with water-efficient plants, and use eco-friendly fertilizers.

I will visit seafoodwatch.org or download the app and commit to making better seafood choices for a healthier ocean.

At least 30% of crops and 90% of flowering plants rely on pollinators, including monarch butterflies, to produce fruit. I will spend 60 minutes researching which plants support local native pollinators and plant some in my yard.

I will spend at least 60 minutes learning about a wild animal I find interesting, including their life cycle, habitat, ecosystem functions, and interactions with humans (if any!).

www.heronhaven.org I choose this because for 20 plus years we have lived right by it and get to enjoy its beauty on a daily basis and always attend its yearly event. I have as well as my grown children learned so much about the wetlands, birds, animals and how to preserve nature. I want to help teach others about it as well! Heron Haven is a spring-fed wetland sanctuary, and one of the last oxbow wetlands of the Big Papillion Creek.
