We're expanding habitat

What began as a single marshland revitalization in 2021 has grown into 9,000+ square feet of thriving native habitat. 

​

We create sanctuaries for wildlife through community-driven conservation efforts that keep growing.

With purposeful impact

From a pollinator-friendly demonstration garden, to a habitat-supporting lagoon enhancement, our spaces aren’t just vibrant...

 

They’re resilient, low-maintenance, and sustainable.

Inspiring learning

We educate the next generation of conservationists with hands-on learning, work days and events. 


Our programs spark curiosity, deepen understanding, and highlight the essential role of native plants in healthy ecosystems.

Why Native Plants Matter

 

Bursting with color, texture, and even fragrance, native plants attract bees, butterflies, and birds while also helping restore nature’s balance. Native plants are: 

​

  • Adapted to our unique local climate, and increase biodiversity

  • Vital for the survival of native birds, bees, and butterflies

  • Providers of food and shelter for a variety of wildlife 

  • Low maintenance and water-wise, reducing upkeep costs

  • More resilient to drought, and healthier for our soil

  • Beautiful for the whole community!
