St. Luke's Restoration of Nature

We are so grateful to the Midshipmen Action Group who came out Saturday to help us with trash pickup and invasive plant removal.
And to Eagle Scout candidate Kaden Huntley and the scouts and parents of Troup 855, working alongside the Midshipmen to help Kaden prepare ground for a new pollinator garden.

There’s power in partnerships!

GreenGive results are in: almost $6000 raised to cover annual expenses for keeping our trail open to all and our Restoration ecosystem flourishing - THANK YOU to our generous contributors! The Sweet Bay Magnolias along our trails are blooming with gratitude.

With a little over 8 hours to go - We are getting closer and closer to our goal of $200,000! Please consider supporting the amazing partner organizations that make up GreenGive!

GreenGive starts NOW!

Help reach our goal - $7000 – so our trail and the wet wild
habitat we nurture will continue to flourish. How extraordinary that any St. Luke’s neighbor can simply walk down Fairview Avenue, take the farthest entrance to the trail, and be transported to our beautiful living shoreline where water-loving plants and animals abound.

We are so grateful for your support of the Restoration of Nature!

New bluebird real estate at St. Luke’s!

It takes a surprising amount of effort – mostly volunteer, with some professional help for the bigger jobs – to nurture our treasured green space for the community to enjoy. Gifts to support this work are greatly appreciated.
