Reversing Extinction happening right now in our Ecosystem

Defaunation in the Anthropocene

Published by Rodolfo Dirzo, et al., this study describes the present as a "global wave of anthropogenically driven biodiversity loss:  species and population extirpations and, critically, declines in local species abundance". 


These are the forces that drive our native flora and fauna toward extinction.


What you will read here is our story of reversing some of the growing extinction pressures within the Chesapeake Bay Watershed. The information and research contained here has shown exciting results in restoring genetic diversity to local populations of native plants and increasing local species abundance for which pollinators urgently search in a fragmented ecosystem.

Plant Stories

The graphic that you can click below shows Ionactis linariifolia. Some call this species "Stiff-leaved Aster". This season saw a race between the Winter winds and this little larva- a seed predator- devouring every seed in each head. (See third picture in series.) We were lucky to save a good amount of seed for next year's population enrichment.

About Us

For 10 years, we have been working with the community in educating about restoration methods that help to establish healthy, genetically diverse populations of native plants. We are developing a program that will allow the permanent preservation of this enriched habitat.
