Empower.
Collaborate.
Restore.
Our mission is to preserve and enrich.
Founded in 2022, Nurture Natives is a youth-led organization dedicated to empowering youth through environmental initiatives, with a focus on protecting native species and biodiversity. Our programs have spanned across Maryland, educating thousands of individuals on biodiversity, native species, pollination, and agriculture. We have hosted state-wide giveaways, distributing free native trees and shrubs. Through collaboration with horticulture experts, our team published Nurture Natives: A Guide to Invasive Species and their Native Look-Alikes. Hundreds of Nurture Natives Guides are being distributed to nurseries across the East Coast. Passionate about eradicating invasive species, our team is also working with legislators to ban the propagation, importation, selling, and purchasing of the Callery pear tree in Maryland. As Nurture Natives grows, our resolve remains resolute: to inspire, educate, and advocate for a future in which our youth and environment thrive.
