The Clyde Shepherd Sheep Project
A community restoration project using sheep to help mitigate invasive species in the The Clyde Shepherd Sheep Project. Learn how we are continuing restoration efforts by building a new trail and introducing native plants.
The Passionflower Bee Project
The Yellow-Passionflower is the only known host plant for the passionflower bee (Anthemurgus passiflorae), a unique native and poorly understood bee that was first reported in the state of Georgia in 2021, including our restoration site at CSNP. We are working with scientists in the field to confirm these observations. Learn more about the Passionflower Bee Project

The things we learn along the way
Our volunteer events are fun because we stop to smell the flowers. We work with scientist in the field to learn more about the things we to see along the way
The Jewelweed Project
Jewelweed (Impatiens capensis) is a beautiful pollinator friendly and native plant that quickly dominated some areas after English Ivy removal in the Clyde Shepherd Sheep Project. In the Jewelweed Project, we teamed up with Sunlit Earth! sponsored nature photographer Josiah Patrick to learn more about this cool plant!
The Piedmont Paddock Concept: Restoring Nature and Horses
Green pastures aren’t healthy for horses or nature! ACE is designing a new horse paddock based on a select diversity of native plants here in the Piedmont region of the Southeast USA. If successful, this could redefine how horse pastures are built managed, providing both critically needed grassland habitat as well as happier horses alleviated from the numerous health complications associated with the modern high-carb and low diversity green grass diet typical of modern horses.
