Leslie Shad founded and leads Natural Habitat Evanston, a community effort since 2015 to change the culture of lawns and plant more bird habitat and pollinator gardens. She’s also a major organizational contributor to the Bird Buzz Native Plant Sale.

Libby Shafer is a master's student in the Environmental Sciences program at DePaul. She created the Evanston Host Plant Initiative, in partnership with Natural Habitat Evanston, to organize community scientists to grow host plants for the endangered Rusty Patched Bumble Bee, and upload their photos of plants and bees to iNaturalist, to help create and map habitat.
