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.
Sedges may look like grasses, but they are in fact their own unique group of plants. Often found in wetlands or along streambanks, they can quickly stabilize soil by spreading through underground stems called rhizomes. This also makes them great for creating lush meadows or lawn replacements.
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.
