Native grasslands are an endangered ecosystem in North America. The rapid loss of these habitats threatens biodiversity, accelerates erosion, and weakens climate resilience. Native grasses and regenerative plant materials—naturally low-water, fire-resistant, and ecologically restorative—are key to a sustainable future rooted in place-based learning, stewardship, and practical land use. The California Meadows Collective bridges science and public engagement by bringing awareness of climate-adaptive ecosystems into everyday landscapes, educating and inspiring champions who create water-wise, fire-safe, regenerative outdoor spaces.
