This discussion-based participatory course will introduce you to inexpensive principles for land management that will help turn your farm, ranch, or backyard into an effective soil sponge to build resilience in your community and region. These principles are already being used with success around the world.

This isn’t about using heavy equipment to move soil around. This isn’t about buying products to spray on your lawn. This is about understanding the work of other species and collaborating with natural systems. When you understand these principles, you’ll know how to make simple, strategic land-management decisions that create the conditions for soils to naturally regenerate their healthy, resilient, spongy structure underground–and begin to accept, store, and filter rainwater.
