New restoration project at Shoreline at Mountain View!
Grassroots Ecology leverages the power of volunteers to create healthy lands across Silicon Valley.
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.
FROM THE FIELD
Two of our newest bay restoration projects benefit pollinators like bees, butterflies, moths, flies, and wasps. Read about our new pollinator gardens along the bay—one in Sunnyvale, the other in Menlo Park—and how you can get involved.
Volunteer with Grassroots Ecology to receive one of our new habitat stickers! Our 8 new stickers represent some of the irreplaceable ecosystems we are all working together to restore.
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.
