Happy Memorial Day! When you hang the flag of the red, white, and blue, remember to plant native, too. Native plants are a part of our country’s natural heritage. The quintessential quaking aspens of Yellowstone and the beeches and maples of the Adirondacks are 100% American-made and emblematic of the strong conservation ethic of this country.

A blurb from Amanda’s April 2022 River Journal article, “Earth Anthem - A Celebration of Earth Day”

April 22 is coming up; mark your calendar, everyone, it’s Earth Day.
It is a day to celebrate the Earth, thanking the planet for our existence, for its beauty and because it is literally grounding us, always there to support our every step.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone! May the luck of the Irish be with you.

And may the true green of nature be with you in your yard. Wait, what does that mean, true green?

February is when winter begins to fade ever so slightly. The shelves are stocked with Valentine’s Day cards and chocolates. Phil makes an appearance, and we all watch closely to see if the groundhog sees his shadow. Whatever the outcome, spring is not here yet; we just need to wait until March 20th.

But lo and behold, a few of our native spring ephemerals start appearing. A few magical flowers burst open as early as February, when the sun can reach them on the forest floor before the trees start leafing out.

HAPPY NEW YEAR PiW COMMUNITY! Your support and friendship made 2021 our most successful year yet! Here's a look back on some of the highlights!

A blurb from Amanda’s December 2021 River Journal article, Lighting up the Landscape

“December is the darkest time of year. It’s when the sun shines the least as the Earth is tilted far away from the sun. But we celebrate the winter solstice and the rebirth of the sun and make things cheerful with candles and holiday lights. Similarly, nature lights up the landscape in its own way. Inspired by bringing light to the dark, I’d like to highlight some of nature’s bright beauty at this time of year. “
