We are a virtual neighbourhood of those who currently - or who are hoping to try - working with nature, rather than against it. We typically maintain and create outdoor spaces that are tended in an earth-friendly manner, where there is habitat for our wild friends (primarily natural food, water and shelter sources, with supplemental sources when a natural one is not possible…or for the joy of it!). We include some local native plants on our properties and any non-natives that are not considered invasive.
To browse or join, click the option on the upper right that suits you best. Please remember that contributions should be in keeping with wildlife- and environmentally- friendly methods and ideas.
The benefits are many:
- A healthier garden and environment for us and our families
- Healthier ecosystems both near and far
- The delightful sights and sounds of beautiful songbirds and butterflies
- The critical services wildlife provide. Our insect eating allies keep potential pests in check while our pollinators help to create many of the foods we love such as blueberries, tomatoes and more!
