why protecting land matters

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.
