What We Do
We actively promote ecologically regenerative practices and principles by providing educational opportunities for people of all ages, and collaborating with various organizations. Our goal is to support communities in becoming more self-reliant and resilient in the face of a rapidly changing world. We believe that the current systems of extraction and environmental desecration must be replaced with systems that encourage a beyond sustainable relationship with the natural world, build strong communities, provide quality educational opportunities, and ensure all people have access to clean air, clean water, shelter, healthy food, and a meaningful life.
Our Vision
Our vision—to put it as short and simple as possible—is of communities that raise and grow more of their own food, manage their waste responsibly, create more of their own energy, source green building materials as locally as possible, reduce their consumption and materialistic tendencies, and provide ecological space for nonhuman life intentionally and creatively. We believe the first and most important step to bringing this vision to life is through education.
