Earth Trusts
Protecting Land, Empowering Communities, and Building a Regenerative Future
Land is more than just a resource—it is the foundation of life, culture, and sustainability. The Common Grounding Earth Trusts provide a model for securing land in perpetuity, ensuring it remains protected, regeneratively stewarded, and accessible to those who seek to build thriving, sustainable communities. Through innovative legal structures and collective ownership models, we remove land from speculative markets and return it to the hands of those committed to regeneration, conservation, and conscious living.
