Community & Government

We provide ecological consulting, planning, and landscaping services to communities and governments. By taking a whole-systems approach to the planning and design process, we help our public sector clients reduce costs, minimize environmental impacts, and create sustainable projects that provide lasting benefits for communities and ecosystems alike. We support counties and local governments in developing climate mitigation and adaptation strategies and implementing achievable action plans to create resilient communities that preserve and protect natural resources for future generations.

Food Forests in Every Community

Through the non-profit Permaculture Living Lands Trust led by Andrew Faust, David Harper, Lisa DePiano, and Brigid Walsh, we support the creation of legacy landscapes that will provide a supply of perennial and annual foods accessible to the community.  The Trust takes the unique approach of acquiring and preserving land for long-term stewardship and for the establishment of food forests that will meet human needs for future generations. Our work focuses on agroforestry education, planting fruit and nut trees, starting nurseries, and training designers, entrepreneurs and growers in ecologically restorative models of local economic development.
