Coming Soon!

Anticipated in mid to late 2025

Want to learn on your own time? Then keep an eye out for our on-demand courses which you’ll be able to take whenever and wherever you want. We hope to begin releasing the courses in mid to late 2025.

Overview

These courses are based on our small group coaching programs and discussions within the Backyard Ecology™ Community.

They are specifically designed to help you create and manage pollinator and wildlife habitat on your property by empowering you with the knowledge and skills to confidently make decisions based on your own unique goals and situation.

What to expect:

Each course will consist of a series of fun, bite-sized videos similar in style to the videos on the Backyard Ecology™ YouTube channel. (No boring power point slides or long, boring lectures.)

Most of the lessons will include small action steps that will help you apply the content we just covered.

Each course will also include a digital workbook to guide your actions so that you can quickly and easily make progress on your goals.

Backyard Ecology™’s Guiding Principles:

🦋 Curiosity: Nature is fun, interesting, and worth exploring. We will never know everything. Answers lead to more questions. That’s half the fun.

🦋 Balanced: You don’t have to choose. You can support nature AND have a beautiful property that you can enjoy and be proud of.

🦋 Science informed: Habitat creation and management should be based on the latest scientific research available. This is true regardless of whether you’re working in a small garden or on hundreds of acres.

🦋 Stewardship: Anyone can make a positive difference in the natural world and leave an ecological legacy on their property.
