Suggested Practices and Examples for Implementation:

• Map the vegetation: identify tree types, native and invasive species, plant and flower names, consumable growth, etc.
  • You can make this fun through our Neighborhood Natives Scavenger Hunt (great for a small family activity or a congregational project happening on church land).
• Map the other features of your property, such as parking lots, playgrounds, sidewalks, green space, etc., and consider how each might touch the community or serve as an asset in different ways.
• Read about the history of your property and have conversations about what it was, what it is, and what you hope it to be in the future.
