Coffee and Conservation

Join us for our regular monthly Coffee & Conservation to enjoy coffee and pastries from Dearborn Coffeehouse & Bakery as we gather to protect and preserve our waterways and wildlife. February 17 will feature Barbara Lockhart of Neighborhood Land Conservancy. Learn how protecting neighborhood land supports wildlife, improves water quality, and strengthens our local communities.

Barbara will share the story behind her organization’s mission to protect small natural parcels within developed areas and explain why these efforts are vital for both the environment and the community. Her presentation highlights how conserving local green spaces supports wildlife, reduces flooding by naturally absorbing stormwater, and helps filter water before it reaches our drainage systems. Barbara will also discuss how individuals can make a difference—whether through volunteering, supporting local conservation efforts, or creating more nature-friendly spaces in their own backyards.

Suggested donation of $5-10.
