• “Every square inch of planet earth has ecological significance, even where we live, work, and play. If we landscape these areas with plant function as well as aesthetics in mind, we can create viable habitat where humans are, not just where humans are not.”

    — Doug Tallamy

  • “You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” - Jane Goodall

     Interested in living more sustainably and supporting local wildlife but don't know where to begin? Visit Home Earth Alliance’s Resource page to help send you in the right direction. If we each do our part, we can make a difference in the Capital Region of NY… one inch, one foot, one yard at a time!

Native plant and animal populations are in steep and rapid decline. There is hope.

All of us, no matter our level of experience or knowledge, can help to create a more healthy and ecologically sustainable world. It starts with each of us. You can make a difference. You can effect change in whatever large or small piece of the Earth you steward. There is cause for hope.

To quote Greta Thunberg: "Once we start to act, hope is everywhere."

We see hope with every native seed that germinates, with every bee, bird, or butterfly that finds our garden installations, with every human who is inspired to become part of the solution to support, biodiversity, mitigate climate change, and promote environmental justice in their own outdoor spaces. Many of solutions are actually fairly simple, but it requires the collective.

Not sure where to start? Make a financial gift. Volunteer. Commit to three new actions in your backyard. Our resource pages are chock-full of ideas.

We are building a community and welcome you to be a part of it with your gifts and talents.

We are growing hope. Please join us!

In 2024, we launched IMAGINE Native Plant Farm at the Bioreserve in Glenmont, NY. Our plants are grown from seed that is responsibly collected by botanists from wild populations in our eco-region. Our goal is to help grow the supply of plants that are from and for the greater Capital Region. Native plants that have co-evolved over tens of thousands of years with the other flora and fauna that make up our region. Indigenous plants that support biodiversity and mitigate climate change.
