Purpose and Focus: Earth-Joy will serve as an aid and resource for those striving to preserve and restore native habitat areas. Earth-Joy will promote knowledge of, and respect for, our native Michigan plants and animals - and their life-sustaining interrelationships.

Earth-Joy services will include (but aren't limited to) promotion of the sale of Michigan native plants and seeds, and the provision of informational literature and informative talks.

It is Earth-Joy's greatest desire that, with all of us working together, healthier and more fully functioning ecosystems will be preserved or re-created.
