Making Yards More Nature Friendly

By Yanni Pappas on July 26, 2016 Youth Power

The impact we have on our environment is a lot larger than most of us expect. Roots & Shoots U.S. Roots & Shoots Youth Council USA Member, Yanni Pappas, shares ways that he has made sure that his impact is a positive one by implementing projects around his yard that make it more nature friendly!  Whether it be by reducing lawn size, planting native trees and plants, creating habitat for pollinators,  building birdhouses, or growing gardens, there is a lot each of us can do to live in harmony with nature.
