We design and take actions for local foods, perennial crops, soil care, nature connection, community resilience, carbon sequestration strategies, natural building techniques, energy efficiency, rainwater harvesting, ecosystems for habitat/ medicine/ and food, financial permaculture, ecological site plans, and regenerative enterprise. We apply permaculture ethics and principles in everything that we design and establish.
