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.

San Juan County LTAC (Lodging Tax Advisory Committee) Grant for Leave No Trace Speaker Series
LNT practices for San Juan County's imperiled coastal prairies and sensitive marine ecosystems and their related species ~
Sunday, November 13th 5-6pm @ San Juan Island Library Conference Room
Come learn about the Endangered island marble butterfly (Euchloe ausonides insulanus) and how it copes with winter storms and the simple things we can do to best its chances of surviving another year. Wildlife Biologist, Jenny Shrum formerly of the National Park Service and currently On Sacred Ground’s Island Marble Butterfly Program Director, will share highlights of her 9 seasons studying this quirky critter and what LNT practices on the prairie will do to support the island marble butterfly.

Sunday, December 4th 12-1pm @ San Juan Island Grange
Listen to Dr. Deborah Giles, Science and Research Director of Wild Orca and UW’s Center for Conservation Biology, share whale tales of the Salish Sea and how LNT on the water is vitally important to our way of life in the San Juans.

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.
