Mission:
We catalyze community-led collaborations that empower land stewards to implement regenerative solutions, such as biochar, to restore ecosystems, drawdown carbon, and build climate resilience across our bioregion. We connect farmers, landowners, researchers, funders, and community members to turn these solutions into on-the-ground impact — and help build a broader movement of place-based carbon conservation trusts.
