A home grown national park is a wonderful idea. I’ve often thought that if every farmer in Australia erected their stock fence 30m in from the boundary and gave that small track of Land to nature we would have the most amazing fence-less interconnected web of corridors for the natural world. As always there are ways, we just lack the will at scale.
I'm hoping the will is growing. After posting this, I went to a local film screening where they happened to talk about this book in one of the films. One of the guys there has had success in convincing local landowners to create pollinator gardens and protect endangered plants already on their property. It was very inspiring to hear.
Thanks for this thoughtful post and helpful review! I saw that book at Humboldt Redwoods State Park (sufficiently majestic to be a National National Park, haha) and wondered about it.
