Learn how to create beautiful habitats that support thriving ecosystems.
Our self-paced courses will teach you the knowledge and skills you need to create and manage pollinator and wildlife habitat on your property based on your own unique goals and situation.
How do the courses work?
- Each course is self-paced.
- Take the courses you want, when you want and on your own timeline.
- Each course consists of a series of short, fun, bite-sized lessons.
- Learn what you need to do, why it’s important, and how to do it (including some of the adaptations you might want to think about for how to make it “fit” your unique situation).
- Each course is designed to help you take action.
- Most lessons include small action steps that will help you immediately apply what you just learned.
- The small action steps walk you step-by-step through the process so that by the end of the course, you’ll have accomplished the goal of the course.
- Each course includes a digital workbook to guide your actions so that you can quickly and easily make progress on your goals.
- Each course is offered only within the Backyard Ecology™ Community so that you can get additional support and guidance that is customized to your unique property, goals, and situation.
Go beyond just gardening for pollinators and wildlife.

Backyard Ecology™’s Guiding Principles:
🦋 Curiosity: Nature is fun, interesting, and worth exploring. We will never know everything. Answers lead to more questions. That’s half the fun.
🦋 Balanced: You don’t have to choose. You can support nature AND have a beautiful property that you can enjoy and be proud of.
🦋 Science informed: Habitat creation and management should be based on the latest scientific research available. This is true regardless of whether you’re working in a small garden or on hundreds of acres.
🦋 Stewardship: Anyone can make a positive difference in the natural world and leave an ecological legacy on their property.
