SUMMARY:Restoring Habitat
DESCRIPTION:You know that old adage “let nature take its course”? We disagree. Natural areas need help to become—and remain—places where people\, plants\, and wildlife can thrive.

Join Preserve Manager Mike Coll for a stroll around the property to learn about how Natural Lands is growing forests\, filtering water\, controlling invasives\, feeding wildlife\, and sowing seeds.
