Our Vision

We envision a coordinated, broad-based, and diverse restoration
team consisting of individuals and organizations dedicated to
engagement –through study, research, and on-the-ground work – in a
“great conversation” with members of “great communities:” the
current and past residents of a place, scholars, artists, scientists,
and even plants and animals.
