Our goals for 2023 are:
- to teach 3,000 children and adults about nature and the environment,
- to continue restoring and studying our 110-acre native grassland,

- to help kickstart the native seed industry in Virginia,
- and to track 40 Box Turtles on our property to better understand how to conserve this charismatic and declining species.
