sjean's garden

Who this garden brings back

Because sjean planted these, these named species have a place here.

• 
  Little Brown BatEndangeredBat

  Disease wiped out most of them. A single bat eats thousands of insects a night, the ones night-blooming natives raise.

• 
  Bank SwallowThreatenedBird

  It feeds entirely on flying insects. Every native flowering patch is more food in the air it hunts.

• 
  Common NighthawkThreatenedBird

  Its dusk call is going quiet. It hunts the night-flying moths that evening-primrose and milkweed raise.

• 
  Eastern MeadowlarkThreatenedBird

  A grassland bird losing its grasslands. Native bunchgrasses bring back the insects and cover it needs.

• 
  BobolinkThreatenedBird

  A bubbling song of summer meadows, now threatened. Native grasses rebuild the habitat it raises its young in.

• 
  Olive-sided FlycatcherThreatenedBird

  It perches on tall spruces and sallies out to catch flying insects. Native blooms keep its prey in the air.

• 
  Eastern Wood-PeweeSpecial concernBird

  Its slow 'pee-a-wee' call is heard less each year. It needs the flying insects native plants support.

• 
  Transverse Lady BeetleSpecial concernBeetle

  Our native ladybugs are being pushed out. Native plants give them aphids to hunt and cover to overwinter.

• 
  Luna MothSpecialistMoth

  One of our most beautiful moths raises its young on native trees like birch and serviceberry.
