Meet Zoe, artist, soil scientist, and longtime LEAF volunteer, who led 41 volunteers over four months to bring our community mural to life. Most were first-time painters, but together they created a vibrant tribute to native plants, wildlife, and the life teeming below our feet.

Help us bring our second mural to life! Designed by local Bay Area artist, soil scientist, and longtime LEAF volunteer @zoecaron_art, this mural will highlight the vital role of bugs and creatures in living soil, which enables us to grow healthy produce and regenerate the land. Your contribution funds community experiences, art supplies, and fair wages for the artist. Between now and Earth Day, we’re running a special campaign to recognize our supporters.

A donation of:

$100 or more will list your initials on the mural

$250 will allow you to ‘adopt’ a bug or microbe on the mural with your name on it

$500 will get you a framed print of the mural, signed by the artist

$1,000 or more will have the mural dedicated to you with a plaque

Donation link in the bio. Thank you for your support!
