Homegrown National Park

Launched in 2020, Homegrown National Park® (HNP) is a massive cooperative conservation project that engages and mobilizes anyone with a flowerpot, lawn, garden, woodlot, ranch, farm, or campus to plant and preserve native species and remove invasives to support the plants and animals that are essential for human survival. This grassroots call-to-action will regenerate biodiversity by restoring healthy habitats on millions of acres of private land—creating large interconnected ecological networks outside of parks and preserves. HNP has a unique focus on reaching those unaware of the biodiversity crisis – an enormous and diverse population – while working and collaborating with aligned businesses, nonprofit organizations, and government entities such as national parks. HNP is the largest cooperative conservation project ever conceived or attempted and has an initial goal of adding 20 million acres of native plantings in the U.S. This represents approximately half of the green lawns of privately-owned properties. Ultimately, HNP’s target is that all privately held land will include native plantings.
