In my own yard, I have been very unfriendly towards the native environment. The increased water distribution to the soil has caused the proliferation of imported wildflowers which have crowded out and all but eliminated the local grasses. I have waged war with iron phosphate against the dominant animal -- slugs. The increased plant nutrients I have introduced to the soil have caused the imported plant varieties to flourish and I have systematically removed all but a few of the native Sumac shrubs. There is definitely an abundance of wildlife that now visits my property -- birds, pollinators, etc. but my actions have been very unfriendly towards the original local ecology.
