Conservation of rare plants, animals, and ecosystems

Over the weekend, IRC had the pleasure of delivering the first batch of purchased biodiversity starter plant kits! We distributed 35 plants from 9 species to 5 sites, which will attract up to 26 species of butterflies or more, including 15 larval host plants and 18 nectar plants.

These were assembled from our partner native plant nurseries: Amelia’s Smarty Plants, Indian Trail Native Nursery, Meadow Beauty Nursery, Silent Native Nursery, and George Gann’s private stock.

Each kit helps build on the biodiversity hotspots we are creating in our Restoring the Gold Coast program. For more information including how to purchase your own kit, click here.
