CONSERVING INDIANA - restoring native landscapes

It's not just about pretty flowers -

What’s at Stake?

We’re not promoting native plants just because they’re nice to look at. We’re fighting for our lives!

All of us have a stake in what becomes of the native flora. Right now, they’re protected in nature preserves and state parks, but public lands make up only 2% of Indiana. Preserving these areas is good, but not good enough. The vast majority of native flora is on private lands, which are subject to development or may be overrun by invasive plants. And native plants are largely absent from lawns and yards in cities and suburbs.

We need a critical mass of native plants, in interconnected corridors throughout the state, to sustain the web of life. Our land, our wildlife, and we ourselves depend on it. (from www.indiananativeplants.org)

Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit Indiana Native Plant Society Inc., and a donation in any amount will help make an impact. Follow along with me on Instagram and Facebook as I travel Indiana parks and natural areas highlighting current current conservation and restorations efforts and areas which need addressing. Donations of 100$ or more receive a Conserving Indiana T=shirt. Donations in any amount will receive native seeds and a fact sheet.
