Wise Earth Ecological Land trust
is nestled by a 13 acre family nursery operation and 67 acre certified FSC
forest. There is 5 acres consisting of mature second growth forest, abandoned
1930’s homestead, small orchard and gardens. First and foremost is a 500
year plan to be a sanctuary for all creatures. Second is to create a model
of sustainability to teach by example.
Come help us create a blueprint for the future.
