We want to create sustained long-term value for nature and humans by facilitating regenerative practices, so that they spread.
WHAT WE DO
01
Demonstrate value
We focus on results and upsides, on immediate effects and long-term impact that improves human and natural conditions. We generate practical, empirical regenerative experience through projectbased applications.
02
Show how
We build instructions that are solid, interesting and easy to follow so that as many as possible can get to experience gains from a regenerative practice.
03
Connect
We facilitate exchanges and help connections that can cross-pollinate knowledge silos and advance regenerative practices.
We cultivate partnerships and collaboration as a primary way of working.
In Hedeskov we steward 180 ha land (52%) and forestry (48%). For many years, our approach has been, and still is, to cultivate without either chemical or mechanical disturbance.
If the land is cultivated on nature’s own terms, we can rebuild soil organic matter and restore degraded soil biodiversity; this will ultimately increase CO2 absorption from the atmosphere.
We leave ample space for nature and biodiversity, which means that the amount of land cultivated is minimal.
