Sarah F. Jayne

Sarah F. Jayne has worked intensively with plants and wildlife for over four decades from California to the East Coast where she now lives. She earned a degree in agriculture from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and went on to own and operate an organic market farm and nursery. Later, inspired by Doug Tallamy’s Bringing Nature Home, Sarah transformed her approach to landscaping. Recognizing the pivotal role that each person can play in addressing the biodiversity crisis, she trials methods to manage ecological landscapes that enable people who may have limited resources and little or no gardening skills to encourage biodiverse ecosystems that support wildlife where they live. A result of that work, Nature’s Action Guide: How to Support Biodiversity and Your Local Ecosystem helps homeowners and renters take the actions needed to support biodiversity wherever they live and work.
