Our Mission
Establishing permaculture demonstration sites in every community & evolving them into resilient eco villages.
Our Method
Providing educational and social structure through our 501c3 public charity, helping communities set up their own permaculture education site. We guide students as they design, install, plant, build, administer and manage their local site.
Our Hope
Hope is grounded in our ability and willingness to take action. We have transformative power in every moment, with every breath. And when we find community that supports and inspires us, we are free to change our paradigm.

Our Philosophy
Restoring People & Planet
It is no accident that when Europeans came to the new world, the ecosystems looked like well tended orchards and gardens. There were 100 million people living with nature as a part of nature. Our first nations stewarded the land, tended to and respected all life. But for the past 200 years since the industrial revolution, humans have propagated a much different landscape. Rampant CO2 from the burning of fossil fuel is causing severe damage to our biosphere and is posing an existential threat now and to future generations of all life. We are too late to stop climate change. However, we still have time to adapt, become resilient and mitigate the severity of climate chaos. If we act now, we have time to restore our ecosystems starting right outside our doors. Instead of feeling helpless, take action and feel empowered. Let's refuse to march quietly to our demise or party on in denial. We have important work to do, building community, stewarding our land and helping each other realize our new paradigm.
