Commitment to Our Communities

Back to Nature is committed to the health of the communities where we live and work in more ways than one. We design and develop with the environment in mind as part of our mission, not just as part of our business. To that end, we donate our time and expertise to organizations and municipalities that want to incorporate a regenerative design approach into their projects. The following is a list of some of the pro bono projects we’ve undertaken.

Bernards Township
Donated traffic island designs and the labor for plantings.

Hunterdon County Land Trust Alliance

Donated a vegetable garden and, on a separate occasion, a tree for the organization’s 10th anniversary. Donated master planning and landscape design assistance for the adaptive reuse of the historic Dvoor Farm.
