I think this is an underrated way to get started. Remove aggressive weeds, consider seeding in a few native species that can coexist with the existing lawn and see what happens.

It’s even better to plant trees and shrubs to create more 3D habitat but just increasing the diversity of the lawn can have a positive impact.
