We bring a unique perspective and blend of professional expertise to environmental nonprofits in the Philadelphia area. Our staff, partners, collaborators, and volunteers form a network to enhance understanding, improve skills, and expand impact. Together we learn, together we grow, together we make the changes we want to see.
Ecology researchers and plant-focused practitioners generally operate in disparate silos of knowledge, belief, and action. We create a bridge between the latest research about the causes and consequences of ecological devastation and the daily practices employed by gardeners, landscapers, and arborists.
We Value
• Learning and sharing knowledge about how to strengthen our ecosystems.
• The wellbeing of the human and more-than-human communities in which we live.
• The development of food systems that promote human equitability and respect for the beings who we make our food and the land we share.
• Local measures to mitigate and adapt to the effects of global climate change.
