Sustainable Solutions

Biodiversity globally is decreasing at an alarming rate, with an average decline of nearly 70% in wildlife populations since 1970. If you feel called to act to restore our planet, this series is a great place to start! We'll view the film Common Ground, learn about our local ecosystem here in Southwest Kansas, and focus on keystone species that you can incorporate into your landscape to aid native species, restore the soil, and work with the natural water cycle for a beautiful yard that's equally good for the earth.
