Keeper of Backyard Nature.

You’re never too young to make a big difference. As natural habitats disappear, both wildlife and our connection to nature are at risk. We need to change this.

Avalea, the Backyard Nature Ranger, is dedicated to rewilding backyards into wildlife-friendly habitats and fostering a deeper appreciation for often-overlooked creatures. Her mission is to teach others how to create spaces that support biodiversity and to build understanding and respect for all living beings, especially reptiles.

Changing the world.
One book at a time.

Explore Avalea’s new-release, Tara’s Close Encounter! Join Tara as she explores the zoo with her mom and discovers that reptiles aren’t so scary after all! She learns an important lesson: the things that scare us the most are often the unknown, and education changes everything!
