Helping Neighbors Add Nature
We're creating the best possible home for insects, birds, critters and humans in Eastlake
About Us
Rewild Eastlake began in 2024 when Dave Galvin, a local birder and long time Eastlake resident, realized that if wanted to see more bird species in Eastlake we needed to give the birds more and better habitat–one that featured more native plants that the local wildlife evolved with.
So he put a notice in his birding column in the Eastlake News and now we have nature loving neighbors working together to provide better living conditions for not just birds, but insects, mammals and people.
Rewild Eastlake is part of a global rewilding movement seeking to use nature's resilience to stall habitat loss and climate change one plot and one garden at a time. Each person's effort may be small, but collectively, the effect can be mighty–thousands of miniature national parks! And what a wonderful thing to have more bird song, butterflies, bees and more all while improving our own homes.
Rewild Eastlake recently received a $5000 Seattle Neighborhood Fund Matching Grant which we're using to add more native plants to our neighborhood. The match is being done with volunteer hours.
