Harford Soil Conservation District, Havre de Grace Green Team, Susquehanna Beekeepers Association and Town of Bel Air join Grow Wild
March 20, 2025Harford Land Trust and its partners are thrilled to announce that the Harford Soil Conservation District, Havre de Grace Green Team, Susquehanna Beekeepers Association, and the Town of Bel Air have joined the Grow Wild partnership.
Created in 2023, the Grow Wild initiative encourages landowners to reconnect with their environment, plant habitat for a variety of wildlife and pollinator species by using native plants, and reducing lawn to help nature flourish on a local scale.
Grow Wild serves all of Harford County. Its focus is on educating and engaging urban and suburban residential communities. In areas of the county that have become increasingly urbanized, Grow Wild partners see an opportunity to promote habitat for a variety of wildlife and pollinator species by encouraging the use of native plants and reductions of lawn. Pollinator species (plants and trees) establish wildlife habitats, are low-maintenance and low-cost, and have a built-in resilience that helps them weather climate extremes more than any manicured lawn.
Recognized as conservation leaders, Harford Land Trust and its partners are excited to bring these organizations together to promote science-based environmental management practices and support future Grow Wild events.
Grow Wild is a Harford Land Trust program established in 2023. Grow Wild serves all of Harford County, Maryland. Our focus is on educating and engaging urban and suburban residential communities in this region about the benefits of converting at least a portion of their yards to more natural spaces, where pollinators and other wildlife can thrive.
