The feedback from my fall experiment of offering free habitat workshops was so positive I’ve decided to host seasonal habitat workshops this year to share actionable ways to create a more ecologically sustainably landscape - with the focus on the function of our yards as a wildlife habitat. The size of the workshops is intentionally limited to make them more interactive and encourage authentic connections. I’ve worked hard to offer hands-on and practical ideas geared towards anyone who is at the beginning of the process of restoring habitat where they live. I’m maintaining the low-key nature of the workshops by reaching out through my networks to folks who are open to making their yards more wildlife friendly. Feel free to share this information with anyone who you think "gets it" and might benefit. The Winter Habitat Yard Workshop is on Sunday, February 25 from 12:00-2:00pm. Before reserving a spot by e-mailing [email protected], please read the blog post here (https://lnkd.in/dbps6NzX) plus the one I wrote last fall (https://lnkd.in/g3H9z_ij) detailing the reasons for the workshop and what to expect. Spring and summer dates are in the works! The workshops are for adults, but children of all ages are welcome – after all it’s their future we’re all trying to save! Be on the lookout for a special family workshop this summer. * I'm keeping the workshops free. My website is being updated and will have a donate button now that Nurture Native Nature is a non-profit organization. This will help offset the cost of offering free educational community outreach programs and activities throughout the year. #nativeplants #naturelovers #habitatyard #coexistwithnature #nurturenativenature

Great mention for KMTT in the article about the impact of celebrities on project profiles.
⭐️ "Anything that generates positive focus on a project is welcome." Emma Dent spoke to RNZ last week about the different ways conservation organisations can get recognition for the work that they do. "Comment from people with the high profile of Leonardo DiCaprio, who are champions of nature, are certainly a good way of drawing attention to an issue when it is something that the person cares deeply about, and we can see that it aligns with their values." https://lnkd.in/gBddTmd6 🎥 Last year, BBC's Our Frozen Planet aired a 12-minute short film about the Kotahitanga mō te Taiao Alliance. "This created great interest in the project as it helps to bring it to life for prospective donors. "We've had a couple of bigger and unexpected international donations coming in since the programme screened, and hundreds of thousands of views." Watch the film here: https://lnkd.in/g69zXw_S https://lnkd.in/gBddTmd6

Wishing you a buzzing National Urban Beekeeping Day! This celebration, originally promoted by the Detroit Hives organization in 2019, encourages community members in cities to practice apiculture as a way to help support primary pollinator species in urban environments where natural systems have historically been displaced, disrupted, or degraded. Along with the ecological functions, beekeeping also provides a range of other potential benefits to local communities. https://beesinthed.com/ (While some critics have cautioned that 'domesticated' apiculture adversely impacts wild bee species, carefully planned and managed urban beekeeping where wild bee colonies are not viable can help mitigate potential adverse impacts.)

Outdoor Alliance is one of the outdoor industry’s greatest assets. If you’re a brand, there’s no better organization to align with; if you’re an outdoor enthusiast, this is the non-profit deserving of your donations. For 10 years, Outdoor Alliance has united the outdoor recreation community to achieve lasting conservation victories. These include protecting millions acres of public lands, billions in funding for the outdoors, and converting more than 100,000 outdoor enthusiasts into outdoor advocates. I have dedicated almost 5 years now to volunteering on their Board of Directors because OA fundamentally sees recreation as a conservation tool and genuinely unites different stakeholder groups in their coalition. 92% of recreationalists rely on public lands, yet only 19% make stewardship (advocacy, volunteer work or donations) an annual habit. Let’s close the stewardship gap by supporting this organization’s incredible work for the next 10 years! #outdooralliance #protectpubliclands Access Fund The Surfrider Foundation American Whitewater American Canoe Association International Mountain Bicycling Association Winter Wildlands Alliance The Mountaineers American Alpine Club Mazamas The Colorado Mountain Club

🌿 Rising from the Ashes: Reawakening Australia's Rainforests 🌿 Once upon a time, Australia’s rainforests were vast and teeming with life, but today they stand fragile and endangered. At Foundation & Friends, we have been passionately working to preserve these vital ecosystems through the Rainforest Seed Conservation Project. Since 2008, we've been safeguarding the genetic heritage of our rainforests, storing seeds at sub-zero temperatures to ensure their survival against extinction. With the unwavering support of our donors, we’ve expanded our efforts to include living collections and cryopreservation for species that need special care. Our collaboration with the Research Centre for Ecosystem Resilience (ReCER) has been instrumental, allowing us to conduct genetic analyses that maintain diversity and identify resilient individuals. Together, we've equipped laboratories and propelled crucial research forward. Professor Maurizio Rossetto, Head of ReCER, shares, "Your donations have equipped our labs to analyse tens of thousands of rainforest plants. With your continued support, we can produce genetically diverse seeds for the Big Scrub Rainforest Conservancy, aiding in the restoration of resilient rainforests." As we continue this important work, we invite you to join us in our mission. Learn more about our Rainforest Revival & Survival Appeal and consider donating to help us safeguard the future of these vital ecosystems. 🌱 #RainforestConservation #SaveOurForests #EnvironmentalImpact #Sustainability #Biodiversity #ClimateAction #FoundationAndFriends #ReCER #BigScrubRainforest #AustraliaRainforests #Conservation #SupportResearch https://lnkd.in/g2yyVD42

Only 13% of the UK’s total land area is covered in trees compared to an average of 46% in Europe. In England, woodland cover is only 10%. As a charity we aim to change this. We are helping to reverse centuries of woodland decline by creating and conserving a huge broadleaf forest for the benefit of the environment, wildlife, and people. A place of enduring natural beauty, protected and secured for generations to come.

Wasn’t it a band called The Chicks that sang about needing ♩♫”Wide, Open Spaces”♩♩? (Coincidence? You decide.) 🐣 It might not look like a habitat to us, but for birds, airspace is home. It's where they spend much of their lives. It's the highway they travel from wintering grounds to breeding grounds, or the place where they find food. It's essential to their survival. And it needs to be protected, just like any other type of habitat. At American Bird Conservancy, we don’t just focus on where birds are sitting right now. We are looking at where birds are going and how they are going to get there. Learn more about Aeroecology & how it informs ABC’s work at https://bit.ly/3MSYDRS. Your support is what makes ABC’s habitat conservation possible. Donate during our Habitat is Home 1:1 Match campaign and help raise $1 million dollars for bird and habitat conservation by December 31.

🌄 The federal government recently announced plans to expand the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument. Advocacy from Indigenous community leaders, community activists, and environmentalists across Southern California led to this landmark decision to preserve public land and provide critical open space and equitable access to nature. 🚵♀️Expanding the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument will promote equitable access to nature, safeguard a vital water source for Los Angeles County, tackle climate and biodiversity challenges, support national 30x30 goals, and honor the landscape’s culture and historical significance. 🙌 Alongside the Monument’s expansion, over $1 million in corporate, philanthropic, and state government support to ensure equitable access and recreation within the Monument was announced, a commitment that includes support from EGA member, Resources Legacy Fund. Read more about the Monument’s expansion here: https://lnkd.in/dgM86uGh #Conservation
