tân'si askî î isinâķwa - how the land looks
(Northern Michif)
Our projects combat climate change, promote native biodiversity, and support resilient, climate-adapted landscapes. Our work goes beyond regenerative landscapes; it's about honoring the cultural significance and nuanced relationship our communities hold with kitaskînaw (our land). Native plants are more than ecological assets. They are connections to cultural heritage and tools for regenerative living. Commitment to kitaskînaw is grounded in the reciprocity and respect Indigenous communities hold for the askî (land). Our consultation approach is boots-on-the-ground and truth based, creating ecological assessments that are tailored to your specific project needs.
Though we specialize in the ecoregions of the PNW and Willamette Valley, we are connected to the Bison dominated grasslands of central Canada (Metis, Cree, Stoney and Blackfoot) , the deciduous forests of Delaware (Lenape) and the vineyards of Napa Valley (Miwok, Wappo) these connections to place allow us to provide knowledgeable services beyond our eco-region and we are honored to share it with you. Led by traditional ecological knowledge, academic training, a love for native plants and a mission rooted in relationship to land and building resilience in our communities, we are the land.
