Rated 5 out of 5
Nancy Karlen –
This is an inspirational group of stories about restoring native plants and habitats in a variety of political, social and ecological environments. If the Meadow Project is the “why” we need to restore our personal spaces to more natural habitats, this is the “how” to get it done on a much larger scale.

I saw this film recently at an environmental film festival and have been eagerly recommending it ever since. It can be easy to feel overwhelmed by the scale of our environmental problems, and defeated by elected officials who seem proud to accelerate and cheer on the destruction of our natural world.
I left “Hometown Habitat” with an understanding of just how many of our problems can be solved by ordinary people making small changes in our own yards and neighborhoods. The film explains in simple and engaging ways why planting native plants and taking other seemingly small actions is so critical to saving our planet. It also shows exactly how you can help today, right where you live.
It’s more than educational, however – it’s profoundly inspiring. I left motivated by its stories of ordinary people – alone and in groups – accomplishing tremendous things a few plants at a time, a few hours at a time.
Pete Seeger once said, “I think the world is going to be saved by millions of small things.” “Hometown Habitat” is proof. Watch it and be inspired.

I saw ‘Hometown Habitat’ at a screening in Winnipeg, Manitoba 2 weeks ago. This film should just plain be mandatory viewing regardless of your age, occupation, political leanings, etc.
This film is beautifully shot and has a very positive message, showing us amazing real world examples of built landscapes that are fiscally and environmentally responsible. It shows us what we can do with native species when you put science and art together. The results are landscapes that can transform the way we think about the spaces we create for ourselves, how we interact with our surroundings.and, who knows, maybe even how we relate to each other.
