For a lawn or yard you don't have to go all the way to a forest to have a stablish ecosystem. Perennials can do a lot.

And actually in some places prarieland is probably more important for conservation.

In my case it was plant a couple of native fruit trees for me, dig a small perrenial pond and add some rocks so amphibians can feel safe, and sprinkle in seeds for native grasses, especially edible ones and let nature do it’s work. It was probably my favourite. Loved it.

Shame I don’t live there anymore.

Its easier to get natives but still takes some effort. But its front loaded and makes beautiful spaces
