Welcome to Coastal Wildscapes

Click here to see what is planned for September. Dr Doug Tallamy will be joined by a panel of coastal experts to highlight the critical role our gardens and managed landscapes have in our coastal ecosystems to sustain humans and the life around us.  We must preserve them in their natural functional state.  To do that we can no longer view plants only as ornaments but must consider all of their roles when selecting them for our gardens. Tallamy will discuss the important ecological roles of the native plants in our landscapes, emphasize the benefits of designing gardens with these roles in mind, and explore the consequences of failing to do so.  Gardening in this crowded world carries both moral and ecological responsibilities that we can no longer ignore.  Learn more about Doug Tallamy here.  Register NOW!

The mission of Coastal WildScapes is to preserve and restore the highly significant biodiversity of Southeastern coastal ecosystems by protecting existing native habitats, rebuilding the connectivity of impaired habitats and minimizing the future fragmentation of the coastal landscape. We provide educational programs on sustainable conservation landscaping, native coastal fauna and flora, and threats to coastal environments; provide onsite consultation on native plant identification and selection, alternatives to invasive plants and conservation gardening and landscaping; and administer hands on programs, such as the WildScapes Certification Program, that actively engage local communities in protecting the biodiversity and coastal habitats of the Southeastern United States.    Photos by Christa F.
