Butterflies, bees, dragonflies, beetles, spiders, freshwater mussels and other invertebrates sustain life as we know it. Yet many are declining due to habitat loss, pesticide use, climate change, and more. But there are steps that we can all take to help these vital animals and no action is too small. Please taking a stand for invertebrates today by making a donation to my fundraiser. Your support means the world to me, thank you!

Stewardship is our guiding principle, and the health and vitality of our vineyard and its inhabitants are paramount to longevity. Over the past few years, we've partnered with Xerces to strengthen the biodiversity of our estate, beginning at the micro level with something small but essential: invertebrates. Through their support, we've been able to plant native pollinator habitats designed specifically for our location. Xerces provided the plants, and we did the rest. These habitats provide shelter, promote biodiversity, and set the groundwork for a balanced ecosystem. With time, they've become largely self-sustaining and are an enduring investment in the health of our home. We've set up this fundraiser to keep their important work. Your support will help Xerces continue its critical work to expand biodiversity and enrich ecosystems by focusing on building habitats for the small but mighty critters critical to our lives.
