Friends of the Wekiva River Presents - Doug Tallamy, Ecologist & Author

“We are at a critical point of losing so many species from local ecosystems that their ability to produce the oxygen, clean water, flood control, pollination, pest control, carbon storage, etc, that is, the ecosystem services that sustain us, will become seriously compromised.” —Doug Tallamy
