Healing Mother Earth Initiative
Replant Michigan’s Forests. Restore Wildlife Habitats. Honor Loved Ones.
Northern Michigan’s recent five-day ice storm devastated our cherished forests, destroying thousands of trees—including nearly 50% of the hardwoods on Herbal Lodge Owner, Nathan Wright’s land. For Nathan, professional wild forager and owner of Herbal Lodge, the impact was profound. But instead of succumbing to despair, he turned his loss into action.
Nathan launched “Healing Mother Earth”, a reforestation initiative to rebuild ecosystems and habitats, and you’re invited to join this meaningful mission. Together, we can heal the land, nurture wildlife, and honor our connection to nature.
Why Your Support Matters
The storm didn’t just harm the landscape; it disrupted homes for deer, birds, and countless other species that rely on these trees. By planting native trees, we restore essential habitats, helping wildlife thrive again. Every tree planted is hand-selected to meet the ecological needs of the area, fostering long-term growth and sustainability.
Your donation will directly fund the replanting of these trees, helping to restore the beauty and balance of Northern Michigan’s forests.
Meet the Visionary Behind the Mission
Nathan Wright isn’t just an environmental advocate; he’s a man deeply connected to the land. With decades of experience as a wild forager and herbalist, Nathan understands the unique needs of Michigan's forests. He has poured his expertise into this initiative, ensuring every tree planted will flourish in its new home.
Stay connected! Nathan will share updates about the storm’s impact and the reforestation efforts via his Facebook channel, so you can see your contribution in action.
