Committed:
The Redding Garden Club has been committed to conservation since its founding in 1964. We lead the way in habitat and wetland conservation, and work to help protect and restore the environment for our native trees, birds, and wildflowers.
In 2006, alarmed by the increasing destruction of our environment by invasive plants, the RGC formed Saving Natural Redding.
Saving Natural Redding is designed to educate and promote the control of invasive plants and their replacement with Connecticut natives.
Since being formed, Saving Natural Redding has:
- Replanted wildflowers and native plants in Saugautuck Falls
- Worked during “cleanup days” to eradicate invasives
- Sponsored intra-community invasives programs
- Distributed educational material to the community
- Published an invasives series in the Redding Pilot
- Won the 2006 Pauline B. Tyler award from Federated Garden Clubs of Connecticut
for Excellence in Promoting Conservation
