Our resources and projects are informed by creative field research and a curious inquiry into the intersections that affect human-land relationships

We’re here to offer resources that are cohesive in breadth, see humans as a part of ecology, acknowledge a bigger web in which plants are a part and honor the complex cultural traditions of use that often span beyond perceived borders


Through our podcast conversations, study groups, classes, and educational resources, we offer an important lens into the world of creative land connection and the ways in which we can be critically informed in modern times.
