Restore your Puzzle's Ecosystem

Identify and remove invasive pieces to make room for native plants!

Our ecosystems are collapsing quietly.

Biodiversity in nature helps absorb greenhouse gasses, save endangered species, improve the wellbeing of a community, and yield economic benefits. Areas with the richest biodiversity can also be the ones most at risk. 

The Savage Fen is a wetland located in Savage, MN, and is home to some of the rarest species in the state… but it’s become endangered due to the introduction of invasive species and human activity.

What if your favorite hobby gave them a voice?

Every box features duplicate, interchangeable pieces that portray both native and invasive species, allowing you to control the narrative of your own puzzle. Here, you’re not just a puzzler… you become a restoration ecologist.
