Our Strategy
Our strategy is rooted in navigating a time of profound ecological and social change—honoring diverse histories, engaging the realities of the present, and co-creating inclusive, regenerative futures. We begin with a recognition of patterns, identifying together what is already alive in each place, connecting people, knowledge, and initiatives to strengthen the systems that support them..
Grounded in pluralism, we work across differences—partnering with Indigenous leaders, local communities, and practitioners to foster shared learning, reflection, and collective action. Across bioregions—from Tayside, Scotland to Valle de Zaquencipá, Colombia—we connect place-based efforts with shared principles to support regeneration at scale.
Core Values
While there are many principles and frameworks that inform our work, we offer five core values that are are foundational in our work:
Guiding Frameworks
Our work is guided by three core dimensions: how change happens (process analysis), what change looks like (outcomes analysis), and how it endures (pathways to transformation). Together, these frameworks help us learn, act, and regenerate living systems together and over time.
Process Analysis: An iterative cycle of learning and action that helps communities sense, reflect, and adapt as they encounter constant change.
Orders of Outcomes: A structured way of understanding impact—with a major focus on enabling conditions, behavioral change, near term impacts and longer term pathways to deeper systemic and transformational change.
Pathways to Transformation: How to understand, map and influence long-term trajectories that connect practice and learning to lasting shifts in systems, relationships, and ways of being.
Our Work in Action
We believe meaningful change emerges from many ways of knowing and being. Our work brings this to life through diverse, place-based practices that support regeneration in action:
We work with scientists and practitioners to ground action in ecological restoration and monitoring.
Coastal Ecosystem Restoration
We support communities and institutions to plan for climate risk and uncertainty across social, ecological, and governance systems.
Participatory Co-design
Indigenous & Local Knowledge Practices
We begin with the people most connected to a place, grounding action in lived knowledge and care.
Adaptive Governance & Learning-by-Doing
We work in relationship with Indigenous communities to honor and empower ancestral ways of knowing and being.
We create immersive, place-based learning experiences that deepen understanding through direct relationship with land and seascapes.
Outdoor Experiential Learning
We use systems thinking and visual tools to support shared understanding, coordination, and informed decision-making.
