Working together in land stewardship
I am a team lead with the Zawadi Land Stewardship Initiative. We use our experience and knowledge in botany, ecology and soil science to address challenges and find opportunities in your space. We will work with you on your project and draft recommendations that will benefit the land, soil, native pollinators and health of the watershed, through practical and economical means.

We support you in addressing land management challenges, activating ecosystem restoration projects and bringing a holistic ecosystem lens to farms & garden projects.
