Our yards and community landscapes are all ecosystems. Rick Darke says they are opportunities to support biodiversity by building wilderness into the landscapes in which we live.

Darke is a landscape ethicist, designer, author and photographer who is participating in a West Cook Wild Ones Chicago seminar called Putting Wilderness to Work in the Living Landscape. We talk with Rick to consider the components of “The Living Landscape”.
