Meet the Ecologist

Hi, I'm Danielle

I am a lover of nature and all things outdoors. I own a small suburban home in upstate New york and passionately believe we have the power to support the local ecosystem in our own backyards. I firmly believe we all can create backyards that are beautiful, while at the same time supports the native species. I just started on this journey and want to take you with me every step of the way!
