Rita shares valuable resources and tidbits of information that are useful to anyone considering a meadow in their own yard.

Rita grew up in New England, and has always held a love of the outdoors. She’s lived in 11 states across the country working for non profit conservation organizations and the National Park Service with a focus on National Trails.

Rita moved to West Virginia with her husband, Sean, in 1993. For 20 years they lived across the street from an open area they observed being developed over time. Rita dreamed of restoring a native meadow one day…

They found their dream property in 2010 for a passive and active solar house, as well as a meadow. Since then Rita has taken multiple classes with professionals in meadow restoration- Larry Weaner, Doug Tallamy, Rick Dark, and Katherine Zimmerman. With 8 years of firsthand experience, Rita is sharing her story.

Rita is a graduate of Sterling College, the University of Montana, and Antioch McGregor
