HOMEGROWN NATIONAL PARK® is a grassroots call to action to generate biodiversity and ecosystem function by planting native plants and creating new ecological networks. Homegrown National Park’s mission is to regenerate biodivesty and ecosystem function because ever human being on this planet needs a diverse highly productive ecosystems to survive.

Catalyzing a collective effort of individual homeowners, property owners, land managers, farmers, and anyone with some soil to plant in…to start a new HABITAT® by planting native plants and removing most invasive plants.  It is the largest cooperative conservation project ever conceived or attempted. Their initial goal is 20 million acres of native plantings in the U.S. This represents approximately ½ of the green lawns of privately-owned properties.

Homegrown National Park® is a term coined by Doug and is the key to our call-to-action:
“Our National Parks, no matter how grand in scale are too small and separated from one another to preserve species to the levels needed.  Thus, the concept for Homegrown National Park, a bottom-up call-to-action to restore habitat where we live and work, and to a lesser extent where we farm and graze, extending national parks to our yards and communities.”

The Map is an interactive community-based visual that will show each person’s contribution to planting native by State, County and Zip Code.
