Meadowscaping for Biodiversity (MS4B)

Meadowscaping for Biodiversity (MS4B) is dedicated to bringing students outdoors in nature; empowering them to take positive steps to restore biodiversity in their communities; and helping them to develop life and career-readiness skills.

MS4B promotes “intentional gardening” — gardening with pollinator-friendly, perennial native plants — with the intention of building healthy, resilient communities. We do this through after-school and summer programs for youth, as well as by providing topical presentations on biodiversity, climate action, and native-plant gardening; one-on-one consultations on curriculum development with teachers; and specialty landscaping services — using native plants — for property owners.

We inspire youth from all backgrounds to address the rapidly increasing, real-world challenges to the environment and our society presented by the climate crisis. Working in teams outdoors, students learn about nature and ways to balance the world. Youth use creative ways to teach the community that the future is in their hands. Increase biodiversity, pollinator and wildlife habitat to build community resilience in the time of rapidly changing climate.
