Perfect Earth Project

Perfect Earth Project Perfect Earth Project promotes nature-based land care practices for healthy people/pets/planet

We look to creating a future when it can be taken for granted that land is managed without toxins and is safe for people, pets and the environment. Toxin-free lands support biodiversity and carbon capture and are a critical component in climate change resiliency. Toxin-free land management engages decision makers and practitioners in positive environmental learning experiences and inspires action,

right in their own front yards. We see the landscape industry as a potential "army" of environmental land stewards offering career opportunities that are currently undervalued.

Not sure what to do with sticks that have fallen on your property? Create a dead hedge fence like this one we recently spotted out East (slide 1). The densely stacked sticks provide better protection for tiny creatures to seek shelter. Or go looser (slide 2) and stack the sticks loosely to offer more space for larger sized wildlife. ⁠
