Climate change is here and it is impacting our landscapes. We are seeing increased flooding, more frequent droughts, more extreme weather events, longer growing seasons and increasing temperatures. Ecological mismatches, record losses of native species and an increase of invasive species are now the norm. Want to help fight climate change in any landscape? Learn how the plants you choose and the landscape practices you use can help reduce the impacts of climate change and improve the environment around you.
