ReWild Long Island

The mission of ReWild Long Island is to work with communities on Long Island to protect and improve the biodiversity, resilience and health of regional ecosystems by adopting sustainable landscaping practices centered around native plants.

ReWild believes in persuasion through education and positive demonstrations.

For example, programs like the Sustainable Gardens Tour demonstrate how sustainable landscaping can be beautiful and practical by walking our neighbors through examples of pollinator patches, rain gardens, meadows and low-maintenance lawns in yards that are just like theirs. Another example of leading through example is the ReWild Garden at Dodge with a community compost that shows how kitchen and yard wastes can turn into fertility to raise organic produce that is then donated to local food pantries. In short, ReWild believes that winning hearts and minds to the cause of sustainable landscaping is the path to climate resilience, biodiversity, clean air and water, as well as the general well being of Long Island residents.
