Head of Restoration at Greenpop · programmes across South Africa, Malawi, Kenya and Sierra Leone
Seeding a regenerative culture,
through restoration of inner and outer landscapes.
I help organisations and communities restore degraded landscapes across Africa, bridging ecological science, inner development and systems thinking. Once a month I write a letter weaving the three threads of that work.
One letter a month. Read in five minutes. No noise, no selling, unsubscribe anytime. While the list is being set up this sends me an email and I will add you personally. Or start by reading Letter No. 001.
Through the programmes I help run with Greenpop and its partners.
One letter, three landscapes.
Each issue of Inner & Outer Landscapes moves through the same weave, and closes with one thing worth your time.
Inner landscapes
The human dimension of restoration: nature connection, leadership, and the inner work the outer work asks of us.
Outer landscapes
Field intelligence from live projects: forests, urban green zones, agroforestry and bioregional strategy across Africa.
Regenerative culture
The provocation: what systems we want to grow, and what the shift asks of organisations, economies and us.
Four landscapes, one method taking shape.
Syntropic Agroforestry for Climate Adaptation
A flagship demonstration site and training centre, built with a coalition to be replicated across Africa.
Mulanje Bioregional Strategy
Growing the restoration economy and regenerative value chains in a UNESCO cultural landscape.
Uilenkraal Forest Restoration
Resilience strategies around Africa's southernmost forest, with thousands of trees planted each season.
Also this year: a seven-dimension bioregional baseline for Matamp City, Sierra Leone. More in what I'm doing now.
