According to the The National Audubon Society:
Restoring native plant habitat is vital to preserving biodiversity. By creating a native plant garden, each patch of habitat becomes part of a collective effort to nurture and sustain the living landscape for birds and other animals.

I respect people on a mission to preserve biodiversity. This particular group does, in fact, get permission! Which is incredible.
Certainly. I do work for Constructive Plant Rescue in North Carolina, USA. We track down leads by reviewing public information about land being sold/bought/rezoning/etc. Then we get info about who to contact. Then we send a pitch. Sometimes they are amenable, sometimes they are not. We get access, scout it, then hold volunteer days. Some sites are good and some are not. I like this particular site a lot.
