MAHOOSUC LAND TRUST
Habitat For All Garden
Gardening is conservation. It is a proactive response to the biodiversity crisis. Within the realm of cultivating, nurturing, and keenly observing plants in our backyards, porches, or neighborhoods, there lies a potent solution to reconnecting with nature, understanding our food sources, and harmonizing with seasonal rhythms. Simultaneously, these efforts create sanctuaries where not only humans thrive, but also where birds, bees, butterflies and other vital components of biodiversity find a home.
Together, we can make the most of our our backyards, schoolyards, porches, and every scrap of land to provide refuges for wildlife and humans.
The garden suggests there might be a place where we can meet nature halfway. -Michael Pollan
