We live in a world made of interdependent systems that balance, support and strengthen each other: nutrient systems, soil biology systems, plant systems, animal systems, water cycles, mineral cycles, etc. One broken system affects the integrity of all other interconnected systems. Unfortunately, many of our modern earth management methods are based on broken systems and broken systems are self limiting because they require perpetual external inputs.

Earth Stewards, in contrast, are masters of systems thinking. When you're an Earth Steward, you leverage, support and create complete and interdependent systems so that what you create is naturally self-regenerative.

The result is abundance.

Possibilities for Earth Stewardship exist in every animal or land management arena, because it is a way of thinking and problem solving, a different toolbox. Can you use Earth Stewardship to create a naturally lush backyard garden? Yep! What about regenerative hobby farms? Yep! Large-scale ranches or farms? Yep! Wildlife management? Yep! Wetland management? Yep!

Getting there takes knowledge (general and site specific), patience, observation, and adaptability, but most importantly, it takes people who can see the possibilities, people who want to step up and be the change, and people who have courage, lots and lots of courage!
