Donating funds to make this documentary film possible was the right thing to do. It’s important work, and what better way to convey the message about native plants, pollinators and larval foods than by seeing the relationship first hand. Surely, if a picture is worth a thousand words, then a movie is worth a million. Steve Castorani, North Creek Nurseries/American Beauties

Part of the mission of the University of Toledo Department of Environmental Science is to conduct research and education that addresses human impacts on the environment. Hometown Habitat represents one way that humans can positively impact the environment by increasing biodiversity, increasing carbon sequestration, and reducing storm water runoff. Contributing to this project was a way for me to put my money where my mouth is and I thought I’d invite the other faculty and a few members of my family and friends to join me. We look forward to screening the film! Jonathan Bossenbroek, Professor, University of Toledo

We at ClearWater Conservancy support Hometown Habitat because we believe that with robust native plants in our landscapes, we can support the food web from the bottom up, making our piece of the planet a better place for flora, fauna and people. ClearWater Conservancy

When Prairie Moon Nursery first learned of Hometown Habitat we knew, immediately, that it was something we needed to support. For over 30 years Prairie Moon has been a “native-only” nursery providing non-cultivar and insecticide free plants and seed. We believe that educating the public about the science of why we need native plants is essential and that is, clearly, the shared mission and message of Hometown Habitat! Bill Carter, President, Prairie Moon Nursery

The Connecticut College Arboretum has been promoting the use of native plants in landscaping since 1931. The idea that people need to bring native species and ecological processes into all their gardening and landscaping activities is fundamental to preserving the environmental infrastructure that supports all life on Earth. Let’s hope this movie reaches well beyond the already converted. Glenn Dreyer, Director of the Connecticut College Arboretum
