Stories about our environment, renewal, and connection.
Welcome to Tiger Hill Nature Sanctuary and Tiger Hill Naturalist! We are a content driven environmentally focused publication featuring informative articles on current conservation issues, the people and communities making a difference, and the benefits of connecting to the natural world no matter where you live. We have big dreams to one day have a physical space to connect people to nature…we will keep you posted!
We believe nature is a conduit to healing. To witness nature restored is a wonderful example and reminder of the hope, resilience, and strength within us all.
Conservation, people, and communities - Tiger Hill Naturalist
Conservation efforts to mitigate deforestation, greenhouse gasses, dwindling biodiversity, and adopt effective climate change solutions are essential to our future and the future of the generations to come.
Restoration and Renewal
Restoration and renewal begins with sustainable practices including regenerative gardening, self-design restoration planning, conservation, xeriscaping and invasive species removal. This is our on-the-ground effort to impact a healthier environment in our own backyard!
Interconnections with the natural world (including ourselves!) - Maia’s Corner
Ensuring the ongoing health of our natural environment and the life within is key to our own health and wellbeing. From the air we breath and the carbon sequestering functions of our trees, wetlands, and oceans to the psychological benefits of a walk in the woods, we need nature for our own survival.
Conservation notable:
Habitat loss as a significant accelerator to species loss is poignant. On the east coast we live alongside and in deciduous forests which are home to various types of trees like Hickory, Oak, and Elm, and a plethora of both consumers and herbivores who call the forests home. Human populations moving into the area, as well as logging and housing development through time, specifically the 1600s through present, have caused approximately 90% of the original deciduous forests to disappear (Vasseur 2012).
