For the second year in a row, PLAN it WILD was featured on NBC's TODAY Show, continuing the national conversation about rewilding America's landscapes. This year's segment explored the remarkable journey of a chickadee and the critical role native plants play in supporting the thousands of caterpillars these tiny birds need to raise a single brood.
Plan It Wild was featured in The New York Times in a story about how lawns can be transformed into living landscapes. The article highlighted our Less Lawn, More Life Challenge and the Wildr Score, tools that are helping thousands of people across the country rewild their yards and bring nature back home. 🌱
We’re thrilled to share that Plan it Wild was featured on NBC’s TODAY Show in a segment on rewilding lawns. The story highlighted how simple steps like mowing less and planting native species can bring yards back to life, and it gave us the chance to share our mission with a national audience.
Plan it Wild was recently featured on ABC News in a story about homeowners rewilding their yards with native plants. The piece showed how more people are moving beyond turf lawns and creating spaces filled with pollinators, birds, and other wildlife, a sign that rewilding is becoming a national movement.
At Cantitoe Corners in Bedford, our Chief Naturalist Murray Fisher has been reimagining the land by replacing lawn with native habitat and restoring woodlands. His efforts have already brought back more than 125 bird species, along with turkeys, hawks, and countless insects—showing how quickly a landscape can come alive when given the chance.
Exciting news! Plan it Wild is proud to announce our partnership with Aspetuck Land Trust (ALT) in a groundbreaking initiative to create densely planted micro-forests across seven public school sites in Bridgeport.
With all this beautiful nature out there and with summertime approaching, it’s time to get outside and explore!
Plan it Wild interviewed for an Examiner article along with fellow sustainability pros working to restore biodiversity in Westchester. “We’re helping not just to expand the biodiversity but also to reduce the carbon footprint, plant native and end the use of fossil fuels,” Bayley explains.
