Join the Challenge!
Join thousands across America restoring nature in their own backyards. Start anytime — fall and winter are perfect for planning so you’re ready to plant in spring. It’s fun, easy, and free!
In 12 weeks you’ll see more birds, bees, and butterflies in your yard — while shrinking your lawn.
You’ll get weekly doable steps, expert tips from leaders like Doug Tallamy, a yard health scorecard, and fun rewards along the way. You’ll start by seeing how healthy your yard is today, and finish by celebrating how much it has grown!
This challenge is 100% free from Plan it Wild. We created it because nothing like this existed — and spreading this movement to every yard in America is too important to put behind a paywall.
