Our Purpose

Our large human foot is taking its toll on wild creatures including pollinators such as bees, wasps, moths and butterflies. They are also at risk when their host plants --- willows, birches, maples, oaks and other trees -- are cleared for development. A corridor for pollinators is created when contiguous green spaces, like stepping stones, provide food and shelter for these invertebrates and their larvae. These small creatures are essential to both our local and global ecosystem. They pollinate over 85% of the world's flowering plants and more than two-thirds of the world's crop species, and are directly responsible for one out of every three bites of food we eat. Food security for our community, and the global community, depends largely on reversing the decline of pollinator species.              Our goal is to restore habitat “One Yard at a Time.”
