This young oak is making its way up in the heart of a dense forest—slowly growing into one of the future giants of the canopy.

Beavers play a surprisingly big role in the health of Canadian forests.

By building dams, they create wetlands that improve water retention, support biodiversity, and help regulate local ecosystems.

Their natural engineering also reduces erosion and creates vital habitats for

Did you know the Northern Bobwhite Quail is one of the few quail species native to the United States?

Recognizable by its distinctive "bob-white" call, this ground-dwelling bird depends on healthy grasslands and open woodlands to thrive.

Unfortunately, habitat loss has led to

One thing we do that makes a big difference? We plant with the future in mind. That means using locally adapted seeds—trees that are genetically suited to the exact environment where they’ll grow. It’s a small step that helps build stronger, more resilient forests in the long run

This little guy is a mudskipper—part fish, part land explorer.

Found in healthy mangrove ecosystems like those in Madagascar, mudskippers can breathe through their skin and even “walk” on land using their fins.

Their presence is a great sign that the mangroves are thriving.

Did you know?

Mangroves can survive in saltwater by filtering out up to 90% of the salt through their roots—or excreting it through their leaves. It’s one of the reasons they thrive along Madagascar’s coasts where few other trees can.

Forest Gardens provide farmers with sustainable livelihoods, healthier soil, and long-term food security.

By integrating trees with diverse crops, farmers reduce dependency on single harvests, making their land more resilient to climate change and economic fluctuations.

Farmers are the driving force behind successful Forest Gardens, transforming degraded land into productive, self-sustaining ecosystems.

By carefully selecting and nurturing trees alongside crops, they improve soil health, enhance biodiversity, and create long-term food security.

I wonder if there are any mangrove projects in Mexico we can plant on. We are...

Mangrove forests are vital for coastal stability, biodiversity, and carbon storage, acting as a natural barrier against storms and erosion.

Fun fact: Mangroves can filter up to 90% of salt from seawater before absorbing it, allowing them to thrive in harsh coastal environments where

The boreal forest, also known as the taiga, is the largest land-based biome, stretching across North America, Europe, and Asia.

It acts as a massive carbon sink, storing more carbon than any other terrestrial ecosystem, making it crucial in regulating the Earth's climate.

White spruce (Picea glauca) is a key species of North America's boreal forests.

This hardy conifer thrives in cold climates, withstanding harsh winters and poor soils.

Its dense needles and strong wood make it essential for both wildlife habitat and timber production.

The Mississippi Alluvial Valley is a crucial stopover for waterfowl migrating along the Mississippi Flyway, offering essential habitat during the winter months.

While geese stay in open fields, many ducks seek refuge in flooded bottomland hardwood forests, where they find food
