Organization Information

Mission Statement

ReWild Long Island is dedicated to collaborating with local communities across Long Island to protect and improve the biodiversity, resilience and health of regional ecosystems. This is achieved by adopting sustainable landscaping practices centered on the use of native plants. ReWild employs practical demonstrations to engage, educate and inspire the community. For example, our Sustainable Gardens Tour showcases the beauty and practicality of sustainable landscaping. Participants visit various gardens that feature pollinator patches, rain gardens, meadows, and low-maintenance lawns, providing real-life demonstrations of how sustainable practices can be implemented in everyday settings. ReWild believes that by leading by example, they can persuade more people to adopt sustainable landscaping as a path to climate resilience, biodiversity, clean air and water, and the overall well-being of our Long Island community.

Description

ReWild Long Island is a grassroots nonprofit promoting biodiversity and environmental health through sustainable landscaping. By encouraging native plantings, composting, organic gardening, and water conservation, ReWild helps transform lawns into pollinator-friendly habitats. The organization offers native plant sales, composting workshops, community garden grants, and youth internships focused on sustainability. With six regional chapters, ReWild fosters an island-wide movement to restore ecosystems and build climate resilience. Learn more at rewildlongisland.org.
