Each PLANT IT FORWARD donated will supply one or more native plants for restorative or educational efforts in public spaces of the region. Each year we will select at least one recipient of the grant.
This year we are collaborating with our partners at the City of Loveland and Wildlands Restoration Volunteers in restoring disturbance at Dakota Ridge and Skyline Open Space after trail work. This trio of orgs have already been collaborating at this site for years: doing surveys, rare plant monitoring, trail design, seed collections, restoration and more! In the process of opening these parcels to public access, heavy machinery was necessary to close existing "social trails" near rare plant populations or ecologically sensitive areas and build new trails in areas with less sensitive communities. Now we are looking to close these scars before invasive species can get a foothold on these spectacular, biodiverse sites.
To accomplish this, we need to receive at least 500 PLANT IT FORWARD donations for the first round of the WRV projects this fall. PLANT IT FORWARD donations are tax deductible.
If time is your resource of choice, consider signing up to volunteer through WRV to facilitate this or projects like this across the state!
