    Habitats and biodiversity are at the core of much of the work we do, whether in a forest, an urban garden, along a stream, or on a farm.

  • Working Farms, Forests & Gardens

    We help people care for farms, forests, and gardens so they have the capacity to provide abundant resources for humans and ecological communities. Our goal is to enhance the long-term health, productivity, and resilience of farms, forests, woodlands, and gardens in our service area.

  • Invasive Species

    Invasive species are aggressive, introduced plants, insects or animals that can become established without natural predators or climate factors to keep them under control. When left to grow freely, they threaten ecosystem health by pushing out native species and the beneficial insects or wildlife that depend on them.
