“Action is the antidote to this almost existential crisis.”

Earthwatch CEO Fiona Wilson says it best, and this is exactly what DNP strives to help do! As National Geographic celebrates its 150th birthday this article: “Why Scientists are ‘weeding’ coral reefs” by Sarah Gibbens from their monthly newsletter reminds us how citizens can do their part to “preserve the nature we have”. As this story shows, you can seaweed reefs, just as you would weed a garden. If don’t want to don all that gear, start in your own back yard: make a pollinator/wildlife habitat with native plants! Don’t know where to start? Check out our Native Plant Resources page, or contact us for a consultation.
