Donor Awareness

Don't Have Time To Be An Active Member, Then Please Support Us As A Donor & Friend . . .

Donors support a Long Island native plant nursery, including field testing what native plants are better suited to changing climate conditions, deer browsing, and drought conditions. ​ And our vision to transition lawns to more diverse natural landscapes, as a  natural solution to climate change.

Donors support our conservation tools providing needs assessments and benchmarks for improved stewardship, while also providing vetted reviews from volunteer community scientists. And they support our ability to work with community scientist volunteers to develop their skills in being naturally intelligent.
