Have you ever walked through a vibrant meadow teeming with life? Sadly, these beautiful ecosystems are disappearing across the beautiful region. HAT is on a mission to bring them back, but we need your help.

Our innovative Grow Hope Restore Nature initiative tackles two challenges at once. It provides meaningful employment opportunities for young people while also restoring critically endangered prairie-oak ecosystems.

“This collaborative pilot project aims to provide skills-based employment with a Living Wage and much-needed stewardship of the disappearing meadows across this island and the gulf islands. It is in partnership with nonprofits and community groups that do not have the capacity to hire, train, and coordinate their own field crews,” said Max Mitchell, Habitat Restoration Coordinator on the HAT blog here.

This unique program is making a real impact, but we can't do it without you.

With your generous donation, we can continue to:

• Pay our crew a Living Wage: We ensure fair compensation so young people can focus on learning and making a difference.

• Cover Training Costs: We provide comprehensive training in ecological restoration techniques, preparing them for future success in conservation careers.

• Restoration of Endangered Eco-Cultural Landscapes: Your support helps ensure a future for these culturally and ecologically significant meadows across the region
