Trouble in Native Paradise

Describe me as an environmental geek — watching our native landscape here in Oakland County be compromised over the decades. From the invasion of Phragmites to the loss of native ecosystems, I want to raise awareness for environmental issues facing Oakland County. I hope to add native plants to the landscape one backyard at a time.
