Planting for Climate Resilience in Northeast Lands

The Wild Seed Project's 2024 guide celebrates the adaptive capacity of plants, which, when returned to the places where they once thrived, support resilient communities of diverse life throughout the land we share. When we pay attention — and respond with care — to the needs of all living things, we strengthen the ability of the entire ecosystem to withstand and recover from the intensifying stressors of human-driven climate change. We may not be able to garden our way out of the climate crisis, but what we do at home matters. We can rebuild and repair our landscapes and relationships while continuing to organize for an intersectional approach to a healthier, more just future.
