Resolutionize may not be a real word but let's define it as implementing your resolutions. You probably made several resolutions, some may have involved your health but hopefully at least one involved the health of the ecosystem.

If you didn't, I've got some ideas! Here are some posts I've made about that over the years. They include resources to help you. Some of them are small but change begins with one simple step forward: replace a non-native plant with a native one, stop using pesticides, add more pollinator plants.
I hope you find something to inspire your efforts in 2025:
Using More Native Plants in the Landscape (2013)
Into the New Year (2014)
It's a New Year (2016)
Resolutions 2.0 (2017)
Be Inspired (ideas for every month) (2022)
NOTE: If you don't have a yard, you can still make a difference by volunteering to help remove invasive plants at local parks, educate others about native plants, serve on committees/boards for environmental non-profits - there is a need for all skill levels when it comes to improving and protecting the ecosystem.
