Homegrown National Park™ is a term coined by Doug and is the key to our call-to-action:
“Our National Parks, no matter how grand in scale are too small and separated from one another to preserve species to the levels needed.  Thus, the concept for Homegrown National Park, a bottom-up call-to-action to restore habitat where we live and work, and to a lesser extent where we farm and graze, extending national parks to our yards and communities.”

THE MAP is an interactive community-based visual that will show each person’s contribution to planting native by State, County and Zip Code.

​

There will be a gauge showing progress towards our goal of 20 million acres of native planting in the U.S.

Importantly, the map is a way for individuals to see their part in the greater whole – creating new ecological networks and restoring biodiversity.
