Conservation rooted in community and accountable to evidence.
Flowers in the Jungle is a California nonprofit public benefit corporation based in Stockton. The organization is building a new environmental conservation direction focused on responsible restoration, stewardship and education.
Our mission
To protect and restore forests, urban tree canopy and native habitats through community stewardship, environmental education and measurable conservation action—beginning in Stockton and growing across California.
Our vision
A future where healthy forests, thriving habitats and resilient communities grow together for generations to come.
How the work should be done.
Good conservation is not only about what gets planted. It is also about how decisions are made, how communities participate, how projects are maintained and how results are reported.
Stewardship
Care continues after planting or restoration day.
Science
Use measurable indicators and appropriate technical partners.
Community
Local participation and local benefit are part of the conservation model.
Transparency
Separate plans, activities and verified outcomes clearly.
Biodiversity
Think beyond individual trees toward habitat and ecosystem health.
Long-term impact
Maintenance and survival matter more than publicity counts.
