What it reported doing in 2025
PAVEMENT TO PARADISEThis project was created to show how anyone can reclaim a paved life-less area, and turn it into a life-full wildlife caf, good for humans and animals. During 2022, a long cement driveway was filled with raised beds that are now planted with trees, flowers, herbs and vegetables. It includes a worm bin, compost pile and rain barrel, as well as bee, butterfly and bird houses. Twelve trees were planted to sequester carbon and provide shade, food and habitat. The project will continue through 2023. A solar fountain will be installed. Planting, including a grape arbor will be ongoing, and tours will be open to the public. We hope this will inspire others to reclaim their driveways (and other paved areas) and become part of the worldwide green canopy tree-planting movement.
