Discussing everything from collecting seeds to new growing experiments
Every two seconds we lose
a football field of trees.
Trees are essential to the health of our planet. We must plant billions of new trees worldwide to curb this tree loss. That's why we started Project Pando.
The Project
Project Pando is a community-driven tree nursery that sustainably grows native trees to give to the public for free.
This nursery will be an open-source blueprint that can be replicated by anybody nearly anywhere for minimal costs (goal: zero cost) using only volunteer labor. This open-source plan will be available to the world for free. Our goal is to create access to an endless supply of trees and to share the knowledge required for those trees to thrive.
We also hope to build an organizational network, modeled after living systems, that enables everyone at Project Pando to unlock their full potential and help further the movement. This plan will be adaptive, responsive, emergent, self-organizing, and co-creative.
