About Snek Stix © the mission
A Modest Proposal to Use Honeysuckle Bushes
Invasive Honeysuckle grows across North America. Brought from Asia for their function and beauty, they now disperse too quickly and displace native plants, causing the decline of forests and habitats. Individuals and communities battle them, but their hard work often yields temporary, cosmetic results, and true victory remains elusive. This socio - ecological issue requires more creative solutions.
SNEK STIX © is a small business in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, founded to sell artisan products made from honeysuckle bushes and do workshops to share in, redirect, and explore the flow of abundance this plentiful plant can provide. With a mission to promote habitat restoration and pioneer a new approach to improving undervalued, untamed invaded landscapes, Snek Stix is poised to make a mark.
