A blog about stewarding a healthy and vibrant landscape

  • This blog is an expression of my personal journey of discovery and challenges in environmental stewardship. My path continues to be deeply rewarding in strengthening a connection with the land and people I engage with. I will begin by covering the ecosystem pillars by which my knowledge foundation is built and then branch out to more niche topics. I am inspired by the trails I walk, the rivers I fish, the garden I grow, the people I talk to, and by YOU! Please send me your comments and topic suggestions!

  • Whether you rent, own, volunteer, or recreate on wildland, I encourage exploring stewardship practices to engage in and foster the health and well-being of the land that provides vibrancy of benefits. This blog can help expand your knowledge and spark new ideas.

  • There is so much information available, yet much remains to be discovered! This blog is an imperfect snapshot of topics, ideas, and resources that have caught my attention and proved valuable to me. Please digest this and all the information available with a grain of salt. What feels right to you? Question your hesitations and dive into your curiosities. Test the information you learn and talk to your community about new perspectives. If you desire a new community to engage with, visit the Take Action page for connection resources.

  • Stewardship starts with you

Cultivate. Plant. Prevent Erosion.

Recognizing soil as a living ecosystem is the first step toward forming a symbiotic relationship with your landscape. Explore the system of microbes, plants, moisture and nutrients that make soil the building base for any healthy environment.

Power of the water

What would be do without any water? Shrivel up and die pretty fast. What would we do without clean, accessible water? Suffer a much lower, less pleasant death. Water is arguably the most important resource to protect. Learn about water quality basics and how to create a monitoring baseline.

“This is something that’s been done for generations on generations and something that’s been suppressed, we are just trying to reinvigorate something that was always within us.”
