Join us as we ignite our curiosity and natural wonder, explore our yards and communities, and improve our local pollinator and wildlife habitat.
It’s so worth it, if you’re not subscribed.
These guys are head and shoulders above many other channels, pure fact based plant science and a strong understanding of ecology with very minimal wasted time during each video.

I’ve watched a lot, and I must say I think you are the best YouTube creator that focuses on eastern native plants.
Top notch content and quality. Thanks.
@Tyler K.
I love all of Anthony’s videos! I usually watch a new one 2 or 3 times, then watch it again later and take notes in my garden notebook for future reference.
I am very grateful for the many hours you both put into gathering correct and meaningful information for all of us. Thank you.

That was great!
I laughed out loud at your terrific butterflies flying impressions but they were very effective.
Thank you!

I know the info can be had from many different sources but your channel just makes it fun and enjoyable to take it in.
I often review your vids before taking a walk in the woods. Appreciate you.
@Hobbietone

About your host…
Anthony Trimboli’s interest in the outdoors started at an early age. He was always catching bugs, toads, turtles, and any other critter he could get his hands on. This lifelong interest in nature led him to pursue a bachelor’s degree in wildlife biology and later a master’s degree in agriculture.
He enjoys helping landowners meet their habitat management needs, whether they have a yard sized property inside the city limits or a 1,000 acre property that is used mainly for deer and turkey hunting. Every time he steps in the woods his mind goes through this process – what is here, is this what should be here, and how can it be made better?
Anthony and his wife, Shannon, are also working to improve the habitat on their own 40-acre farm – which includes battling a seemingly endless supply of invasive plants! So, they understand all the excitement, challenges, frustrations, and celebrations that come with trying to create a functioning ecosystem on your property because they’re experiencing the same things.

Milkweed or Dogbane? Unraveling the Mystery of Common Lookalikes🌿🌿
I’ve enjoyed every single one of your videos.
1.) They help folk understand some of the “webbing” of our native ecosystems.
2.) You give people a heads-up on what to look out for.
3.) A lot of them give me a good laugh.
4.) Every single one of them makes me feel like I’m not the only person left in America that actually cares about these things.
So… Maybe I’m a little crazy. But, at least I’m not alone. 😄
You’re, literally, the only YouTube personality I’ve ever wanted to meet to shake hands with.
Stay metal,
@JJLom777
Absolutely love your channel and the phenomenal knowledge of natives that you are sharing and the whole vibe and stuff🤝

The fact that you used the words “metal” and “awesome” in the same short video just moved you way forward on the list of folk’s channels I want to watch first. 😆🖖😉👍😊🎸
@JJLom777
This is very useful info. I have heard and tried to follow the let it bee (yeah I did) approach, but was unsure of some of the details.
I am now inspired to let it bee more. Thanks!

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.
