Sustainability Partner

We willingly partner with schools, non-profits, NGO's, government and public lands as a sustainability consultant on a variety of projects.  Design and intention play a pivotal role in making events, cities, communities, and the future, both sustainable and abundant.  Permaculture provides solutions for depleted landscapes, closed loop and self-generating communities, and lightens our footprint at every turn when we intend to do so.

Monday, December 12th 6-8pm - Workshop via Zoom

What does Leave No Trace look like when you start to apply these ethics to your everyday life and not just your backcountry or frontcountry experience?  What does it mean now for San Juan County to be a voluntary LNT county eight years after we have declared that intention?  Is it just for tourists?  Should it be applied even more rigorously to our way of life in light of our recent local population growth?  Join Sarah, On Sacred Ground’s Executive Director and Co-Founder for conversations on how to up our LNT game and what actions we can take locally to implement LNT ethics.
