Healthy ecosystems are foundational to community resilience - for the human and more-than-human world. Vibrant forests, healthy, year-round waterways, diverse and fire resilient landscapes that provide abundant habitat, are critical to our health, safety, and well-being. Land stewardship is more than land management - it’s a practice that invites us to learn about the places we call home and the critical roles that humans play in enhancing the complex web of relationships that act in service to life.

Our Land Stewardship Series offers participants the opportunity to learn practices for land tending that are specific to the Willamette Valley, for forest health, wildfire mitigation, and oak savanna restoration. Join us every Tuesday to learn from Lost Valley Land Steward and Permaculture Design Teacher, Brian Byers, about agroforestry, invasive species management, and sustainable timber harvest, while visiting our 87-acre living permaculture site.
