Who We Are

We started out as a group of neighbors in the University Hill Farms neighborhood in Madison, Wisconsin. While our initial focus was to restore the biodiversity of our own yards, the group quickly evolved. We focus on learning about sustainable practices which do include our yards but so much more. The components of sustainability include building strong community, reconnecting with nature, supporting the environment, producing food, and engaging in local action.

Our Focus

Biodiversity

We want to strengthen the ecosystems in our neighborhood that support life. We want to restore the vital connections among plants, animals, and humans.

Sustainability

Sustainability is about ensuring a better quality of life for everyone now and for generations to come. We can start with our own properties and neighborhood.

Community

Building community allows us to work together, play together, share resources, and FEEL CONNECTED.
Community doesn’t build itself and it doesn’t happen overnight. But it’s what we need.

So, Let’s get going!

For one person alone to make big changes can be overwhelming. But working as a group we can make big change possible.

This can take work, but the rewards are enormous. We can provide each other with inspiration, strategies, and practical support.. And sharing our efforts helps us build a stronger community. It is an important expression of hope.

So how are we sharing? We can share labor, tools, and expertise. We can participate in learning sessions to educate ourselves and hone our skills. We can come together for social times. We can work together on volunteer efforts outside our neighborhood. So many possibilities!

Join us! Let’s learn together, inspire each other, and have some fun!
