WE BELIEVE that each garden can serve as an island for biodiversity - a landing place for birds, bees, and butterflies.  Link enough of these islands it creates a corridor that supports pollinators throughout the urban landscape.

How do we do this?

• Create Learning Landscapes or Demonstration Gardens all over California
• Design gardens for private and public landscapes
• Observe and give tours and workdays in these landscapes
• Help developers, municipalities, urban planners and beyond understand the impact these gardens can have on life (biodiversity)
• Education via workshops and partnerships

Next:

• Map the square footage of our landscapes
• Observe who is coming to these landscapes using iNaturalist and other tools

Executive Director Update - December 16, 2024

Here at the Habitat Corridor Project, we are just wrapping up our fall planting. We completed the Oakmont Fire Station Demonstration Garden. Now the little plants just need to grow in. It's a great place to get ideas for creating defensible space around your home. We also have Demonstrations at Novato Fire Station 63 and the Novato Fire Administration Building. See our projects page for addresses.

Two more habitat gardens for the public were installed in Windsor and Glen Ellen. The Sonoma Botanical Garden has been a fabulous volunteer opportunity. So happy to see smiling faces keeping the garden tended and planting the little California native plants. This demonstration garden is planted around the Welcome Center for all to enjoy. Hall Park in Windsor is also a flourishing little pollinator garden. More about those soon.

Looking forward to a nice rainy break then we will jump back in at our newest project Solful Healdsburg. We are also looking forward to our next round of Resilient Landscapes Coalition workshops.

Happy Holidays!
