Our featured presentation came from Mack Kleiva (Evergreen MES \u201925)<\/strong> of Metamimicry<\/strong>, who shared the organization\u2019s story, vision, and deeply inspiring work.<\/p>\n

Mack walked us through Metamimicry\u2019s history and current projects, highlighting hands-on, place-based restoration happening literally in people\u2019s backyards<\/strong>, alongside expanded bicoastal efforts in Florida<\/strong>, including bioswale work that supports ecological resilience in the face of climate pressures.<\/p>\n
