Backyard Biophila encourages families to reconsider the use of their outdoor space by offering tips on how to create a natural, biodiverse, oasis. An additional component educates children about the biology of the garden while providing activities to inspire exploration of the natural world within backyards and neighbourhood parks. Backyard Biophilia seeks to encourage people to consider how their actions affect their community, the ecosystem and the planet.
