If you’ve ever cracked into a Doug Tallamy book you may know that as much as 78% of property in the United States is privately owned, making citizens crucial partners in environmental conservation. He often suggests that by converting our lawns to native meadows and gardens, we can create “wildlife corridors” and “pollinator pathways” that connect to provide critical food and habitat to native insects and wildlife, thus boosting biodiversity, restoring our ecosystems, and ensuring we all have a future.

As we reflect on 2025, we are proud to share what we’d like to think of as the wildlife corridors we’ve helped to create. Each flower icon represents a property we’ve worked on over the past few years- leaves left to encourage life, favorites like Black Eyed Susans and White Pines planted, native meadows sown. Thank you for sharing our passion, for caring about nature’s smallest beings, and for allowing us to continue to fulfill our mission. Happy Holidays🌲

Douglas Tallamy! Three years ago, the quest to bring Doug to Columbia County for an in-person talk began. Troy and the wonderful staff at made it happen. We were thrilled to sponsor the events along with . It was so wonderful to see such an engaged, energetic, and enthusiastic crowd of people come together at both the talk and the three walks that were held at . A huge thank you to Doug for his tireless efforts and for making the trip to our community. Let’s all heed his call to action - and get to it!

Hugelkultur! Or “hill culture” is a permaculture technique that involves building up raised beds by layering wood, organic matter, and soil, mimicking natural forest ecosystems. In this particular location, where some Spruce trees have met their demise, the Hugelkultur will catch rain water and keep it from spilling/pooling onto the trees that remain. Added bonus: we seeded it with native wildflowers, grasses, and forbs!

This month’s Staff Spotlight is on: Crew Member Joe Sp****la. Joe’s passion for wildlife and conservation started from a very young age. Growing up in the Mohawk Valley, his family had a camp on a lake in Saratoga County where he enjoyed spending time in the great outdoors. Being exposed to nature helped shape him into the outdoorsman he is today. After graduating from SUNY Cobleskill with a Wildlife Management BT, Joe started his career at a hunting ranch in coastal Texas where he found joy in attracting new wildlife by creating habitat for them to set up home ranges in. A newfound passion for hunting and its influence on land management took Joe further into understanding the value of land use and its economic impacts on an area. His experience in the field sharpened his plant identification skills and helped him gain a better understanding of invasive species mitigation in upland and wetland areas. He has used this knowledge to teach people and help connect them to the various ecosystems on their land, guiding them towards proper and sustainable land use. He is a member of The Wildlife Society and ISA, and loves furthering his knowledge in the field whenever possible. Joe has been part of the New Leaf Eco team since spring of 2023. Whether he’s identifying native species in a meadow or operating heavy equipment, Joe’s skill set and enthusiasm for getting things done have made him an asset to the crew through hundreds of garden maintenance, installation, and invasive species management projects.

“I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape- the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn’t show.”- Andrew Wyeth

It’s still winter, and we are finding beauty and joy in it. There’s nothing quite like Myrica pensylvanica (Northern Bayberry) surrounded by a blanket of crunchy white snow. As we continue with Invasive Species Management work, we’ve found joy in discovering native species in the wild- it’s like treasure hunting for plant nerds! In the past couple weeks we have stumbled upon Viburnum trilobum (American Cranberrybush) and native Gooseberry. 🤗🌿🤓

Fagus grandifolia (American Beech) is native to a majority of Eastern US and parts of Southeastern Canada. Beech trees produce nuts (beechnuts) that are an important source of food for wildlife like squirrels, raccoons, bears, and game birds, who depend on the high levels of fat and protein they provide. In addition to being a food source, Native Americans used its leaves to treat a variety of ailments, including pulmonary troubles, burns, scalds, sores, and poison ivy. Sadly, the future of American Beech is uncertain, as it is on the decline and threatened by a variety of environmental factors including Beech Bark Disease and more recently, Beech Leaf Disease, which can kill a mature tree in 6-10 years and a sapling in as little as 2 years. Pictured are American Beech saplings growing up alongside White Oak, an old-growth forest counterpart. We discovered and preserved several saplings this winter while performing invasive species management for a client.

-Robin Wall Kimmerer

Only 50 days until spring is here at last! 🎉🐝 After these long winter months, we can’t wait for the TLC these native meadows and gardens will bring. It will be so rewarding to see how they’ve evolved over the last year!

We have openings for consultations starting in March- now is the perfect time to start thinking and planning for spring installations. See link in bio to learn more.
