Keeping The World In Motion
Wild Waypoints
The natural world isn’t disappearing all at once, its being quietly excluded.
Lawns replace meadows, lights replace darkness, roads fragment movement and ornamental plants replace native host species.
But life still moves.
Across yards and fence lines and over borders it doesn’t acknowledge.
Wild Waypoints exists to make that movement visible and to help hold the door open where it still can.
By seeing migration at a larger scale as living paths of freedom in motion we’re reminded that even small spaces matter.
A yard
A planter
A shared place
When these places connect, they become part of something much bigger.
What is Wild Waypoints?
Wild Waypoints is a growing network of ordinary human spaces quietly supporting the movement of life together. A Waypoint can be a yard, a planter, a business patio or a school lawn. This isn’t about doing everything, It’s about making sure something can still pass through. Migratory species will be seen on map here as they travel on their journey. Also shown will be every Waypoint, every natural pit-stop along the journey.
How It Works
A person or place becomes a Waypoint
Native host plants are added
The space is marked with a sign
The space is added to the map (in a 3 mile radius for privacy)
Others see it
The corridor grows through one another
No enforcement.
No perfection required.
No hierarchy.
The system only grows where it is welcomed.
Individuals
People who want to help life move
A yard. A planter. A small decision
Participation doesn’t require expertise
Businesses
Breweries, cafes, shops, and gathering places with visible roots.
Waypoints turn everyday places into community recognized habitat.
Institutions
Schools, Hospitals, Churches, zoos and parks with land but no simple ecological framework or looking to recognize what they already have in place.
Waypoints provide a clear, low-friction way to support life without bureaucracy.
Species & Migration
Life moves through our world in patterns older than borders. Birds, insects and mammals follow seasonal paths that are often unseen but fragmented. We help to make these movements visible and support the species that rely on continuity to survive. This page will grow over time as species and paths are added.
Markers and Supplies
Waypoints are marked to signal possibility, unity and the larger system. Yard signs, as well as other supplies will be listed here as they become available.
Wild Waypoints is shaped by local culture.
Posters and visual markers are created by artists, illistrators, and tattoo studios allowing for unique styles and expressions.
this space will feature rotating artwork as collaborations form.
Art & Posters
Wild Waypoints is built on the understanding that visibility alone is not enough.
Mapping, participation, and cultural momentum help life move, but restoration requires care, resources and people on the ground.
As Wild Waypoints grows, a portion of revenue is committed to supporting:
Wildlife rehabilitation centers
Native plant restoration efforts
Habitat corridor maintenance
Regional conservation and migration partners
Restoration and Partnerships
These partnerships focus on real work supporting species and systems that rely on continuity to survive. This commitment is ongoing and adaptive. partners may change as regions, species, and needs change. What will not change is the intent to endure that as the system grows support flows back into the living world it exists to serve.
Partnership details and supported organizations will be shared as they form.
You don’t need to do everything. You just need a place life can pause, feed, and continue. When it does, you’ll know your choice mattered.
Every yard matters.
Every person matters.
Every choice matters.
