Our Work
We help communities care for the lands and waters that sustain them. Our work connects practical stewardship, community partnerships, conservation research, and education—guided by local priorities and a lasting relationship to place.
Stewardship & Capacity Building
We help landowners and communities turn conservation goals into practical, long-term plans.
Stewardship planning: Conservation and management strategies suited to each landscape.
Technical resources: Tools, information, and expertise to put plans into practice.
Land management guidance: Sustainable forestry, habitat protection, and ecosystem care.
Community Collaboration
Lasting stewardship begins with relationships. We connect landowners, sovereign nations, public agencies, and conservation organizations around shared priorities.
Listen first. Let community needs guide the work.
Build partnerships. Bring people, expertise, and resources together.
Move forward together. Develop practical initiatives rooted in trust and local knowledge.
Conservation Research
We support community-driven research that turns local questions into useful conservation knowledge.
Applied research: Projects shaped by community conservation goals.
Pilot projects: Test practical approaches and appropriate technologies for land stewardship.
Data and documentation: Strengthen conservation planning and environmental assessment, bringing traditional ecological knowledge and science together.
Education & Knowledge Sharing
We connect people to place through environmental learning, cultural knowledge, and creative expression.
Place-based learning: Trails and interpretive programs that bring landscapes to life.
Knowledge sharing: Support communities in preserving land management practices and sharing knowledge on their terms.
Art and history: Projects that strengthen community identity and connection across generations.
Strategic Initiatives
