MUC GoFundMe: Revolutionizing the American Lawn with Nate Fournier. Thu Sep 4th, 5 pm – 5:30 pm Zoom.
.
Our third event in the GoFundMe for the Massachusetts Urban Conservancy is an interview with Nate Fournier, Founder and CEO of Reimagined Roots. We will learn
- How Nate was inspired to learn organic landscaping.
- What does it take to identify and remove invasives.
- Past jobs where biodiversity and local food were important aspects of projects.
- Why our lawns aren't serving us as well as we might think.
- And more!
Attendees will leave feeling empowered to support MUC in our mission to reduce operating expenses by planting native foods and plants. This is part of our fundraiser to acquire land in Randolph for biodiversity conservation.
Our interviewer will be Eric Weld, MassLandlords writer, journalist and editor but also President of the Massachusetts Urban Conservancy. Besides doing outstanding work writing for MassLandlords, Eric has been a lifetime advocate for a cleaner, wilder environment; a nature and adventure writer for more than 20 years; and a lover of and participant in nature and the outdoors since early childhood. This is why when we created MUC, Eric was a great choice to lead the new effort. Eric has circumnavigated the globe twice, lived on four continents, summitted Mt. Fuji, bicycled across the USA, and thru-hiked the Appalachian Trail. As a father of two, he also has personal interest in fortifying earth’s environment and livability for the sake of generations to come. Eric lives in Easthampton, Mass., in his idea of the perfect location: a wildlife preserve abutting his backyard and a bike path across the street.
Our guest speaker will be Nate Fournier, Founder and CEO of Reimagined Roots. Reimagined Roots is revolutionizing the American lawn for a more resilient future by creating beautiful, functional ecosystems full of food, medicine and native plants. With an extensive background in engineering, design, and construction, Nate found his purpose when he took his first Permaculture Design Course (PDC) with Geoff Lawton in 2014. He would convert back yards into whole human ecosystems, providing food, beauty, and function while creating symbiotic relationships with nature. He has since completed three PDCs, acquired his General Contractors license, and studied regenerative agriculture abroad. In early 2020, Nate began his professional venture into the rapidly growing field of Earth-care landscaping, as the owner of Reimagined Roots. MassLandlords Worcester members will recognize Nate as having experience with rental housing and development, as well.
