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.
Pink-flowering currant is a versatile native shrub that brings vibrant color and seasonal interest to gardens, offering stunning pink blooms in winter and edible berries in summer. Ideal for woodland settings, it thrives in a variety of soils and is easy to care for.
Back in 2023, we shared how your feedback helped us make changes to our volunteer events to create an even more gratifying experience for all participants. But the process didn’t end there; we are continually listening to and learning from your input.

Growing up, I was obsessed with two things: horses and nature (to be fair, I am still pretty interested in both). As luck would have it, I lived quite close to Westwind Barn and its neighbor, Byrne Preserve. I began taking riding lessons at the barn when I was about six or seven, and soon I was looking for any possible excuse to return.
