Everyone can do something for the outdoors Explain to people that planting a flower garden does more than beautify your property Share personal experiences Share simple stories Share your wild food with others Caring for a pet is the same as caring for our wild creatures, so share those conversations Explain to little children that if we fill in wet areas where vegetation decays, rots and stinks, but if we do it will kill the tadpoles. If we get rid of the smell it will cost us the frogs.
