Every action we take, from how we manage our lawns to the plants we choose to grow, has an impact on the health of the watershed. By making thoughtful choices in our own landscapes, we contribute to something larger than ourselves: cleaner water, healthier habitat, and a more resilient community.
When we take time to not just look at nature but actually absorb it – sensing its manifest forms of beauty — it becomes attached inside us as a precious resource. A gift. Many in the community are already seeing what is at stake and are doing this reciprocal work of stewardship in many different ways. Please join them.
Since launching the Pecan Creek Beaver Habitat Restoration and Education Project, the Oswego Lake Watershed Council (OLWC) has made meaningful strides in both habitat restoration and student engagement.
These garden experiences are more than just fun — they help students build lasting connections to the natural world. I’m so grateful to support our school gardens.
