Dealing with Climate Change in Our Landscapes
Climate change is reshaping our landscapes and threatening the plants and wildlife we depend on. Nearly half of U.S. bird species may be imperiled by century’s end, and biodiversity loss is accelerating. But there is hope: diverse, native plantings can build resilience, sustain pollinators and birds, and help mitigate the effects of a shifting climate.

How You Can Help
A healthy planet starts with native plants
Dwindling biodiversity is a threat to the foundation of life on Earth. In the last century alone, we’ve lost millions of acres of diverse ecosystems to urbanization.
Native plants help protect and restore biodiversity, improve air and water quality and provide wildlife with quality food and shelter. Our vision is native plants and natural landscapes in every community.
