Every acre we save cleans and cools the air we breathe, soaks up floodwaters, provides wildlife with habitat, filters the water we drink, and brings humans improved health and joy.

natives are nice
Native plants feed native insects, which are the foundation of life on this planet. Every yard, garden, and patio pot needs more natives.

In partnership with Main Line Health, Natural Lands is pleased to present a stroll through Stoneleigh led by Kara Chivalette, MPH, CTTS-M, wellness education specialist from the Community Health and Outreach Department. The Safer Steps program focuses on fall prevention.
Attendees will enjoy a pleasurable walk in the garden while learning about how to identify controllable fall risks, changes to make at home to reduce risks, setting goals for increased activity, and more. This is a free program, but registration is required as space is limited.
