Habitat Heroes is a volunteer group interested in helping people garden for birds and other wildlife. We provide information about plants (especially native plants), garden plans, water features and other ways to provide bird/wildlife habitat. We do not sell anything, but will refer folks to good sources for obtaining plants, such as Windmill Hill Greenhouse.

Feeding Laramie Valley (FLV) is committed to working toward creating a sustainable and equitable food system and promoting food security throughout the Rocky Mountain Region—especially here in Albany County, the community we call home.
Since our founding in 2009, we have worked to fulfill our mission through increased food production, access, distribution, and educational efforts that encourage community-led food sovereignty. Feeding Laramie Valley grows our own fruits and vegetables, mentors and supports backyard gardeners, develops and helps with the management of community gardens, and is deeply committed to partnerships with independent farmers. We share high-quality produce with individuals and families who need it, at no charge to them, with a special focus on elders, children, and people living with disabilities and chronic illnesses. Every summer, we offer Kids Out to Lunch, a free summer lunch and activities program for all children up to the age of 18.
