About Us

Native Suburbia provides a glimpse at the diverse native plants and wildlife that can be found in a Chicago Suburban ecosystem. Our Discovery Journal and Gallery feature photos of native plants and wildlife found in a suburban backyard or suburban conservation area setting. We look at the relationship between wildlife and native plants and the restorative effects that planting native plants can have on the health of the local ecosystem.
