Any natural space – including your garden, lawn, or window box – has the potential to become a refuge for native species. Need inspiration? You are invited to come explore the beautiful native plant garden at the home of NCLT Board Chair Ben Howard.
Making space at home for native plants connects us to wilder spaces and provides important habitat and food for many native species. Come get inspired and bring a friend!
At NCLT we know that native species need a helping hand, and we work hard on restoring native habitats. Your contributions support the removal of invasive plants, re-establishing native species, and guided interpretive programs at our properties. When you register, please consider making a donation in support of our mission to conserve land and connect people to nature in north central Massachusetts.

- 4 “Miyawaki Pocket Forests” (https://www.sugiproject.com/blog/miyawaki-method-for-creating-forests – Over 100 different native trees & shrubs!)
