The Wild Yards Project combines education, outreach and boots-on-the-ground experience to transform sterile, lifeless spaces back into vibrant, native habitat that supports and uplifts our Whole Community of plants, wildlife, and people.
David Newsom, Founder
David Newsom is a father of two wild ones, a husband and a 30 year veteran of film and tv. He founded the Wild Yards Project in 2018, after watching his own sterile urban yard spring to life, courtesy of native plants, a lot of love and the guidance of great teachers. David combines his past as as storyteller and photographer with his passion for creating native habitats to spread awareness of this movement far and wide. David created the Wild Yards Project because the plants and critters insisted.
