From ashes to action, we apply interdisciplinary ecological principles and engineering design toward ecosystem restoration and resilience.
Eco-Engineering in Action
We are a non-profit organization founded by youths unsettled by recurring devastating wildfires and driven to solutions that integrate science, technology, and ecological systems design. We acknowledge the far-reaching direct and indirect global impacts of natural disasters which threaten many aspects of our lives including economic stability, physical health, and food security.
With unprecedented sense of urgency, we aim to act with impact by taking notes from nature’s best eco-engineers including beavers and fungi to
» expand wetlands
» remediate degraded soil
» promote carbon sequestration
» increase aquifer recharge
We construct beaver dam analogs to reduce river run-off, increase groundwater retention, and expand wetlands, thereby reducing risks of massive wildfires and restore biodiversity to damaged ecosystems.
We lead community mushroom-cultivation initiatives to promote an awareness of the importance of fungi in detoxifying and enriching our soil and water.
Through hands-on projects with potential for significant impact, we empower youths with nature-based ecological solutions while fostering knowledge and appreciation of our amazing planet Earth.
We host workshops, river walks, citizen science projects, and build partnerships with other nonprofit agencies as well as Tribal Conservation Corps to strengthen relationships and work together toward restoring our shared habitat.
Supporting Habitat Restoration with
WHY IT MATTERS
Massive wildfires, droughts, and environmnetal degradation are escalating globally. Many are anxious but are uncertain of what to do. We aim to transform fear into action. By connecting people with hands-on solutions, we aspire to develop a generation of change-makers, activists, and problem solvers.
