CLIMATE STEWARDSHIP & REGENERATIVE LAND CARE 

We root in our ancestors’ approach to land care as a sacred practice of climate stewardship.

We honor that many of the land stewards who have experienced land loss, structural marginalization, and systematic discrimination over time have long been on the frontlines of soil and climate stewardship. 

We celebrate that we as Indigenous, Black, Latinx, and Asian people developed covenants with land rooted in mutual respect and belonging, having invented technologies for sustainable and regenerative stewardship of the land, including soil-beneficial, climate resilient, and climate change mediating practices. We embrace, reclaim, restore, reconnect with, and continue to build upon our ancestors’ regenerative land stewardship practices.

We recognize that the current climate crisis has historical origins in the destructive forces of colonization and likewise will disproportionately affect our communities who have survived histories of genocide, enslavement, and forced migration.
