Back To NativesRESTORATION
is dedicated to the
restoration and conservation of Orange County and California
wildlands, through education and restoration programs featuring
native plants as a centralizing theme. BTN promotes native
plants, as well as habitat restoration and preservation
by providing service learning and volunteer based habitat
restoration programs.
Through outreach and education, Back to Natives strives
to involve the community in the process of ecological restoration
and conservation. We believe that a little "ecological enlightenment"
and a chance to "get your hands dirty" is the best way to
improve relations between people and Nature. |

Habitat Gardening with Native
Plants
@ Caring for Creation Conference
October 30, 2010 @
10:30AM & 1:30PM
Join Reginald Durant from Back to Natives to learn all about
landscaping with native plants.
Landscaping with natives conserves water - an increasingly
scarce natural resource - and saves money. Using natives
eliminates the need for pesticides, which harm beneficial
insects and other animals, and reduces our exposure to toxic
substances. Natives also require less mowing, pruning and
fertilizing. A well planned native plant landscape even
attracts birds and butterflies.
The conference is located at St. Mark Presbyterian Church,
located at 2200 San Joaquin Hills Road, Newport Beach, CA
92660. Visit
www.ocice.org
to register for this amazing conference.
