The Plant NoVA Natives Campaign presented Kim Hosen, Executive Director of the Prince William Conservation Alliance, with its first ever “Plant NoVA Natives Champion Award” in recognition of her work to preserve and improve environmental quality in the county.
Hosen and the PWCA have used plants native to the region to transform the landscape surrounding the Stone House Nature Center into the Merrimac Farm Conservation Landscape Garden.
Their work has created a diverse habitat for birds, butterflies, moths, turtles, amphibians, and more. Here creatures great and small can find nesting sites, food and water, and places to rest and hide among a wealth of Virginia’s native plants.
The garden serves as an example for residents who are interested in creating landscapes with plants that are adapted to the local ecosystem.
In addition to their work at Merrimac Farm, PWCA coordinated a number of volunteer organizations to plant natives at K9 Gunner Memorial Dog Park in Lake Ridge.
The PWCA also identifies and pursues conservation opportunities throughout the county. The Plant NoVA Natives Campaign is a local social marketing campaign created to educate the public about the importance of implementing native plants into our local landscapes.
