86% OF LAND EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI IS PRIVATELY OWNED
This means that considering the ecological impact and value of our own yards is so important.
EVERY SPACE, NO MATTER HOW SMALL, MATTERS
There are so many places around our homes, neighborhoods and towns where we can make simple changes to improve habitat quality for wildlife, and for the many other benefits we receive of going native in our landscaping.
Every native plant added makes a difference. Any increase is good. You can add more native plants over time.
Thank you for planting Virginia natives!
