SEED Community Land Trust - Join Us!
SEED: A Vision We’re Growing Together
SEED has been sitting quietly in the background of our lives for years
— a project waiting for its moment, gathering experience through everything we’ve built at The Rewild Project,
the forest garden at Noxon,
our community workshops,
our roundhouse builds,
and the hundreds of people who have walked beside us.
SEED stands for
Social · Environmental · Educational · Diverse.
It’s our blueprint for a community land trust rooted in soil, skill, and shared purpose.
We’ve walked many landscapes
— seen what works, what fragments,
and what unravels communities.
In that lived experience we’ve distilled eight foundational pillars that,
taken together,
describe how a thriving regenerative community is both cared for and stewarded.
A Living Landscape Where People and Land Take Care of One Another
SEED imagines a place shaped by:
Sociocratic decision-making,
real accountability, community ownership,
and a joining process built on trust rather than speed.
A place where the culture is as regenerative as the ecology.
Imagine:
Contour-built earth houses tucked into the hillside.
Water-catching alley crops feeding both soil and animals.
Natural swimming pools holding sunlight and storing warmth.
A craft village: alive with spinners, weavers, blacksmiths, shepherds, potters, herbalists, and woodland makers.
Imagine a women-centred birth space and community hub where families gather, learn, and feel held.
SEED isn’t just a schema, imagined on paper.
It’s a direction of travel
— a set of principles and practices enacted in place and in relationships.
And like all good journeys, it starts where you already stand.
Our Demonstration Ground — and Invitation
Right now, our forest garden at Noxon serves as our working laboratory
— a place where soil, skills, workshops, and community practices are being developed and lived.
Radical Regenerative Rewilders
Here we are:
finishing our roundhouse
running seasonal workshops
teaching ancestral and ecological crafts
deepening the relationships that will carry SEED toward its own land.
We believe that when foundations are lived — deeply, slowly, intentionally — the right land, the right people, and the right timing come into alignment.
SEED is a project you can get involved with,
wherever you are on your path to Rewilding.
It’s a long-term, generational piece of work
that needs hands, hearts, ideas, and support.
January marks the beginning of our public events as we complete the roundhouse at Noxon and share more openly the vision we’re building towards.
If this resonates
— if you feel the tug of something bigger, older, and necessary
— you’re already part of the story.
Get Involved
Thoughtfully and Creatively
SEED is a project you can engage with wherever you are on your path to rewilding
— whether that’s through learning, visiting, participating in workshops,
supporting financially, or helping to shape what comes next.
If this resonates — if you feel the pull of something older, more necessary, and more alive than the status quo — you’re already part of the story.
The Next Step
Join us as we:
launch pillar pages introducing each area of the framework
deepen the SEED conversation online and in community
share podcasts and workshops that explore how this lives in practice
begin a cohort course for people ready to bring these ideas into life together
Where you join in is up to you — but there’s space, and we’re opening the door.
