The mission of local ecology is to document urban neighborhood landscapes designed to provide habitat and forage, especially for small, highly mobile species like bees, birds, and butterflies; to store and sequester carbon; to intercept rainfall and slow stormwater runoff; and to reduce ambient temperatures and absorb air pollutants. 
 

Also, local ecology seeks to promote these landscpaes as effective strategies to regenerate neighborhoods and cities. We have named these landscapes nature-made sites and the people who design and steward them, nature makers.
