The Earth will not continue to offer its harvest, except with faithful stewardship. -St. JPII

We are in the process of converting several acres of lawn into high diversity pollinator prairie. We are annual planting native trees and continue to remove invasive species.

Clare Gardens grows organic produce through careful soil stewardship and  organic best practices. Composting on site of all food scraps. 

We have taken care to ensure that materials purchased, like furniture, for use in the Catholic Ecology Center were either reclaimed or made from recycled materials. 

Our purchase of the Catholic Ecology Center land ensured this amazing property would not be turned into subdivisions. 

With buildings ranging from 10-50 years old, we are working diligently to upgrade and increase efficiency of lights, appliances and utilities. 

The Catholic Ecology Center is in the process of installing a solar array on the main CEC building.
