Natural Lands

We are delighted to announce that Natural Lands has been awarded a $20,000 grant from the Foxwynd Foundation. This funding will directly support a critical, multi-phase ecological restoration initiative at Bryn Coed Preserve in Chester Springs, Chester County.

“Foxwynd Foundation invests in organizations that combine a clear mission with the experience and organizational capacity to deliver meaningful results,” said Pamela Villagra, executive director of Foxwynd Foundation. “Natural Lands exemplifies those qualities, and we are proud to support their continued leadership in conserving and restoring the landscapes that benefit both people and wildlife.”

This grant will help fund two major projects at the preserve: a new 10-acre tree planting, and the establishment of a five-acre pollinator meadow.

$20,000 Grant Will Support Woodland & Meadow Restorations Every acre we save cleans and cools the air we breathe, soaks up floodwaters, provides wildlife with habitat, filters the water we drink, and brings humans improved health and joy.

Sibling rivalry among young American Kestrels can be fierce, and yes — hatch order matters! The larger the clutch, the tougher it can be to compete for food, space, and attention. Clear pecking orders are established early, with the earlier-hatched chicks (or older siblings) usually dominating and getting first-dibs at the dinner table. Or you know, the mouse that was just dropped off.
