"To all bog trotters, fen gazers, ditch probers, pond watchers, river rats, and swamp things; the marsh-mellowed, hip-booted, and cold-toed lovers and preservers of our North American wetlands.
Look closely, tread lightly."
- John Eastman
Albemarle Ecology Center empowers landowners and communities to protect biodiversity, and build resilient ecosystems.
We help landowners and communities manage invasive species, plant natives, and strengthen local ecosystems.
Our Efforts
Invasive Species Removal & Management
Targeting invasive species from the understory to the canopy allows native species to reclaim their place, strengthening biodiverse and resilient ecosystems. By considering species from grasses to birds, and from soil microbes to pollinators, our restoration efforts create habitats that support resilient networks of biodiversity.
Ecological Land Assessments & Stewardship Planning
Through careful assessment of soils, plants, and wildlife, we provide landowners with actionable plans that strengthen biodiversity and ecosystem resilience.
Dragonfly larvae and other macroinvertebrates are great indicators of water quality!
Large predators such as this garden spider represent an active and biodiverse food web.
Plant species such as this black willow (Salix nigra) represent the site's hydrology patterns.
Education and Resources
Albemarle Ecology Center provides education, practical resources, and place-based guidance for stewardship.
