THE LOHNES METHOD

 

We employ people, not machines.

We do the work by hand and with a loving and caring mindset. We hire our team members from both our local community and from away, which brings people to the East Coast.

We work consciously.

We work in a way to not cause harm to any resources and wildlife sharing the space. Whether we're building a raised vegetable garden or we're working on shoreline erosion management,  we do this with the least amount of resources and impact on the environment.

We engage people and connect them to their land.

We help reconnect people to the places where they live, work and play in a manner that is sustainable and self-serving. We create sustainable partnership with the landowners so they can take care of their land and themselves, and the bigger picture of the planet as a whole.

NATURE'S STORE

“The land ethic simply enlarges the boundaries of the community to include soils, waters, plants, and animals, or collectively: the land….A land ethic, then, reflects the existence of an ecological conscience, and this in turn reflects a conviction of individual responsibility for the health of land.”

- Aldo Leopold
