This website is about reclaiming land in cities and suburbs for native flora and fauna. It is based on the science of Restoration Ecology, on my on-the-ground experience in Arlington, Virginia and on the experiences of many other similarly-minded individuals that I work with here. I look over a county park and in the adjacent George Washington Memorial Parkway. I am convinced that we can do much more to create spaces that will allow native creatures (e.g. songbirds and butterflies, but many others as well) to thrive. There is no simple solution, but individuals who are not scientists can contribute meaningfully. And perhaps, those same individuals will be made more healthy and whole through the effort. This website is intended to encourage action and provide information necessary for those who would like to become more involved.
