  Engaging diverse communities in building healthier habitats and neighborhoods Learn about installing wildlife habitats at these institutions & engage the broader community in the process Sacred Grounds Sacred Grounds™ is a National Wildlife Federation program that recognizes congregations, houses of worship, and faith communities who both create wildlife habitat and actively link faith practices and caring for the environment. Healthy habitats and healthy communities When communities are healthy, wildlife flourish too. We work alongside local partners to assist houses of worship and their communities with project planning and technical expertise to increase native plant gardens. The Sacred Grounds program

This gathering is a call across faiths and traditions to continue the work of tree equity, not as a single act, but as an ongoing commitment. We will answer the ways our individual faiths call us to be stewards of the Earth, honor the wisdom of the Indigenous people of this land, and learn to be good neighbors in the way the trees have always been to us. We need partners like you to make this vision real. Specifically, we ask that you commit to attending the webinar yourself and sharing the event widely within your networks, congregations, and community.

Are you interested in exploring how your community or congregation can take action to care for existing tree canopy and plant more trees? Or maybe you are ready to meet with others who do? Join us for an afternoon of conversation exploring tree equity and resources available to grow canopy and community. Join us for an afternoon of tree-talk, hosted by religious, spiritual, and environmental partners across the region. This event is being hosted as part of the Roots, Branches, & Hands program, which is a multi-faith community forestry program. This is an interfaith gathering, open to all. Date &
