What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Climate change, habitat loss, spread of invasive species, pollution, and over-exploitation of natural resources are harming local and global biodiversity. On Long Island we are particularly impacted by pollutants entering our freshwater aquifers and ocean waters. We are on the Atlantic migratory bird flyway; the impact of our actions can affect neighboring ecosystems. Through the restoration of native plants and habitats, education and advocacy, we promote the health of our lands and mindful stewardship in our communities.

Summer Program to Fight Hunger and Climate Change

The Summer Program includes high school students and adult volunteers motivated to improve biodiversity, climate resilience, and food security in our community. We believe in “learning while doing” involving hands-on projects through dirt, sweat, and toil, leaving participants with newfound knowledge and a sense of accomplishment. Two locations - around Port Washington and East Hampton - include activities such as:
- Organic & regenerative food production: donated to food pantries
- Rewilding & sustainable landscaping: plant native plants, weed rewilded spaces, document the growth of biodiversity in native ecosystems
- Compost & Recycle: Bokashi, three-bin & community and composting programs
- Connect with nature & ecosystems: nature walks, bird banding, monarch butterfly release, oyster farm
- Lectures: information-packed lectures from environmentalists
- Sustainable Garden Design: design and present a garden
- Training: in-person classes to learn rewilding and sustainable gardening

A Rewild garden is a space that promotes biodiversity and climate resilience using native perennials. These gardens feature permaculture practices, responsible (non-invasive, pollinator friendly) ornamentals, organic vegetables, composting, soil building and other earth-friendly practices. These gardens are important as “pollinator stopovers” for native and migratory fauna and insects. Free of pesticides and harmful chemicals, sustainable gardens clean our soil, water and air for a healthier Long Island.
The Rewild Gardens program works by identifying committed groups of volunteers with rights to a feasible garden location and access to water. These groups are willing to create a public rewilded garden space and commit to weekly maintenance for two years.
ReWild provides professional garden design/installation consulting, plants, garden supplies, irrigation, signage, on-site maintenance advice. A 2-year program enables plants to establish, and the volunteer group to develop expertise.
