Toward Ecosophy

Longtime reader and commenter Linda Shekinah and a group of others have launched a fundraising drive for a plant sanctuary and farm in central Vermont,  Locust Creek Plant Haven.  It's a well-established sanctuary, in existence for 11 years now, and they're hoping to raise funds to identify endangered plants on their habitat, begin the process of becoming certified forest growers for endangered medicinal herbs, and expand their existing preschool playgroup into a full-fledged forest school that will bring children into contact with nature. 

This strikes me as a practical and well-thought-out project that will address several significant needs. I encourage any of my readers who are interested to check out their funding page here, and consider chipping in some support for the project. Real change doesn't happen by way of all-at-once transformations, but through specific, focused projects that start the ball rolling in the right direction, and it looks to me as though this is a good example.
