Happy Earth Day! What a great time to share the impact YOU made by participating in the Treasure Valley Pollinator Project!

Thanks to local farmers, nonprofits, and the community, over 3,200 native flowering shrubs were planted out across the Treasure Valley this spring. That's thousands of plants providing important resources for pollinators and bird species critical to supporting a biodiverse ecosystem.

Want to learn more about the importance of insects, and how you can support them? Be sure to check out one of our free classes being hosted throughout the summer.

Special thanks to and for supporting this project.

📆 We've got more volunteer days incoming. If you'd like to play a part in restoring the NCA and having a positive impact for nature and wildlife in your local area, this is your chance!

🌱 Each year, we've started collecting seeds from native plants in the NCA that provide crucial habitat for both raptors and their prey. We've just planted a bunch of seedlings that were grown in our greenhouse from seeds collected last year, and this year we're doing the same thing all over again!

🙏 We need volunteers to help us collect as many seeds as possible - the more seeds we have, the more plants we can grow and the larger the area of the NCA we can restore. Can you join us on November November 15 or 22 or December 6 or 13?
