Water strategy
Catchment, storage, greywater, irrigation, and drought planning — sized to your real occupancy, not a brochure number.
Practice 03 · Natural & environmental
The land has to get healthier every year you're on it.
Soil, water, agroforestry, food forests, biodiversity, planting, stewardship, restoration — the ecological heartbeat that decides whether your project is regenerative or just marketed that way.
Sound familiar?
Most projects come to us with one of these.
- A dry summer that empties the well halfway through the season.
- Degraded soil and a planting plan copied from a different climate.
- "Regenerative" on the website with nothing measurable behind it.
- No one on the team who owns the land's long-term health.
What you get
Natural & environmental, delivered as working systems.
Soil & regeneration plan
Baseline testing, amendment strategy, and a multi-year path from extraction to accumulation.
Biodiversity & planting
Species selection for your climate and altitude — food, shade, fire resilience, and habitat, layered.
Stewardship systems
Who does what, seasonally, so land care survives staff turnover and busy seasons.
Clean air, water & food standards
Filtration, testing, and indoor hygiene protocols to a standard guests can feel.
How it runs
Four steps, then it's yours to run.
- 01
Baseline
Soil, water, and habitat assessment — what you actually have, measured rather than assumed.
- 02
Prioritize
The three interventions with the highest return for your climate, budget, and timeline.
- 03
Design
Water, planting, and stewardship plans mapped onto your site and phased across seasons.
- 04
Embed
Seasonal calendars and roles handed to your team, with metrics to track year over year.
Proof
Patterns drawn from more than 850 farms, ecovillages, and retreat centers across 16 countries — what regenerates and what quietly fails.

Before you book.
- Do you do the physical earthworks?
- No. We design the strategy and brief local contractors and permaculture practitioners who execute it.
- How soon do results show?
- Water infrastructure pays off in the first dry season. Soil is a three-to-five-year arc — we set measurable markers for each year.
- Can this pair with certification?
- Yes — this practice feeds directly into Green Apple Certification standards.
