Preserving Our Ecosystem’s Native Trees & Shrubs by Identifying & Removing Invasive Plants

It’s called Land Stewardship.  In response to the threats on local and global ecosystems, Helia’s mission is to protect native plant diversity, develop and enhance habitat for birds, butterflies, dragonflies, pollinators and amphibians, thus supporting a resilient ecosystem.  The team of visionary landscapers focus on restoring wildflower meadows, woodlands, wetlands and design sacred spaces for humans, animals and plants alike, carrying the model for land stewardship into every project assignment.  Bridghe will share a few aspects of how YOU can be a better land.
