Land Stewardship

Agroforestry integrates trees and shrubs with annual crops and livestock, including: forest farming, multistory cropping, silvopasture, windbreaks, edible hedgerows, alley cropping, and riparian buffers.

Biochar is a carbon-rich material made by heating organic materials - such as crop residues, wood, or manure. Interest in biochar has grown as a way to improve soil health and mitigating climate change. 

Ecological restoration regenerates degraded natural areas and enhances ecosystem services. This supports healthy soils, biodiverse native forests, healthy riparian areas, and native pollinator habitats.

Holistic landscape design integrates ecological, functional, and aesthetic perspectives to enhance biodiversity, productivity, and natural beauty of the land.
