While visiting Stout Grove in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park two days ago, I met arborist Scott Baker. We spoke about conservation, trees as infrastructure, and even the potential role insurance could play in helping protect trees long term.

He has spent years studying Redwoods (even climbed them) and ancient forests, while also working on efforts to help protect urban trees and swales in Seattle. Interesting to hear how communities across the country are increasingly recognizing trees as infrastructure tied to resilience, livability, and long-term value. Very similar conversations in opposite coasts.

Relevant timing as Miami prepares for Sunday’s tree rally in Edgewater. Trees protect quality of life, community character, and property values in a warming climate. Please show up for our trees in Miami. Rally starts at 10 am at the Margaret Pace Park main entrance. 🌳

And yes… reusing your Realtor helps 😉

The “Maji’c” is knowing what matters before the market forces it.

For decades, the ideal American yard was simple: short grass, sharp edges, and not much else.

But new national survey data shows something quietly shifting across the country. About one in five Americans now plans to replace part of their lawn with native wildflowers or meadow planting — roughly double the number recorded just a few years ago.

It may sound like a small landscaping preference. Ecologists see something bigger.

Traditional turfgrass lawns cover tens of millions of acres in the United States, yet they provide almost no food for pollinators or wildlife. At the same time, scientists have documented widespread insect declines and fewer birds raising young successfully — largely because insects that birds depend on are disappearing from everyday landscapes.

Native plant gardens change that equation almost immediately.

Wildflowers bloom across seasons instead of weeks. Native grasses shelter insects through winter. Bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects return — followed by birds feeding their chicks.

Unlike large conservation projects, this transformation doesn’t happen in distant national parks. It happens one yard at a time.

Researchers and extension programs increasingly describe homeowners as “accidental conservationists.” Without joining an organization or changing careers, millions of people are reshaping habitat simply by rethinking what a yard should look like.

The shift isn’t about abandoning beauty.
It’s about redefining it.

The American lawn isn’t disappearing — but across neighborhoods, it’s slowly becoming something richer, messier, and far more alive.

It’s been a long time since I voted in person on election day. I usually drop off my ballot during early voting but this really is much more meaningful! Today is election day. These elections are extremely important as they affect our day to day in our cities. GO OUT AND VOTE! 🗳️🇺🇸

Ken Russell met up with me in Feb to talk about a new initiative featuring listings with lush, tree-filled grounds. This was before he even decided to run for City of Miami Mayor — but one thing’s always been clear: Ken knows trees, loves trees, and works to protect them. 🌿

We need him! VOTE FOR KEN! 🌳🌳🌳
