Suburban Ecology: Wild Neighbors

Written By Carolle Huber

Today I want to share something thats a little farther from your yard than usual. It’s not about planting natives, but about helping preserve biodiversity on a bit of a larger scale.

In this article, we take a bit of a road trip to explore some of the ways that wildlife are being threatened and protected in my home state of New Jersey. Planting a pollinator garden and lots and lots of natives is a great way you can do something for the local wildlife on your own, but it’s also important that you support your municipality in their efforts to protect on a larger scale!

I have been designing landscapes for 30 years, working on large developments, subdivisions, wetlands restoration, public gardens and residential design. These days, I gravitate toward residential design and green projects, with the goal of creating beauty and inspiring awe, while doing right by the environment. Residential design allows me to indulge in planting design, as well as the more typical practice of site design, construction and drainage. As an avid gardener, I am interested in all garden styles, from the simplicity of a contemporary project to the constantly changing mixed border of an English garden.  From more urban areas such as my home town, to more open and rural areas, I enjoy creating sustainable landscapes that are particular to the surroundings, and that take advantage of existing views.
