We restore native plants to open spaces and neighborhoods, steward creeks and watersheds, and provide hands-on nature education. By increasing biodiversity together, we believe we can restore our own interconnectedness, wellness, and sense of place in a fast-moving world.
The silver bush lupine, (Lupinus albifrons), is a striking shrub that offers year-long beauty to sunny, drought-tolerant gardens. With unique silver-green palmate leaves and stunning elongated purple flower clusters, this could be your new favorite native pollinator plant!
Our Intern Akira’s journey with Grassroots Ecology began in his early teens. Learn more about what kept him coming back over the last 6 years: as a Youth Steward in high school, a Naturalist Intern last summer, and as a current Habitat Restoration Intern.
Grassroots Ecology has worked with the San Jose Conservation Corps and Charter School since 2017 to tackle large restoration projects. Thanks to the Corps, we have made huge strides in wildfire resiliency, urban greening, and education at local parks and preserves.
For years, the creek flowing through Redwood High has not provided much for the school or the ecosystem, in part due to the invasive eucalyptus trees lining the top of the creek bank. Grassroots Ecology set out to help Redwood High with its eucalyptus problem, while also connecting students with nature.
