KEEN's native plant sale fundraiser focuses on promoting the use of native flora in landscaping and restoration projects. This event highlights trees and shrubs that are well-adapted to the specific environmental conditions of Central Washington. These native plants are chosen for their ability to thrive in the local climate, requiring less water and maintenance compared to non-native species. The fundraiser aims to educate the community on the ecological benefits of using native plants, such as supporting local wildlife, conserving water, and maintaining soil health. Proceeds from the sale support KEEN's environmental programs and initiatives, furthering our mission of fostering sustainable practices and environmental stewardship in the region.
