Empowering People and Communities to
Reestablish Abundant Ecosystems, Culture and Respect for Earth

Through Integral Pathways, we stimulate Regeneration, Productivity, and Profit by providing Consultation, Design and Installation of  Water Harvesting Systems, Planting Strategies, and Livestock Management Guidance for Land Owners and Land Stewards,  both near and far.

What We Do

Consultation

  • Accessing goals and ideas

  • Understanding resources and variables

  • Existing infrastructure and obstacles assessment

  • Research and observation

  • Map analysis and concept plan

  • Distillation of action plan

Design

  • Create design plan, adhering to goals, expectations and obstacles

  • Soil testing

Installation

  • Build swales, ponds, infiltration basins, beaver dam analogs & beaver deceivers, Johads (catch dams), Yeoman’s plow (subsoiler)

  • Planting and livestock management infrastructure (fencing, pasture preparation & water)

Planting Strategies

  • Initial cover cropping

  • Successional cropping (trees & shrubs)

  • Pasture and alley crops

  • For-profit production (multi-level cropping)

Livestock

  • Guidance in management of livestock: tillers (pigs) foragers (goats), and grazers (cows, sheep and poultry).

Follow Up

  • Identify optimum protocols and management

  • Data collection: Soil testing (moisture, infiltration, biology, etc)

  • Check ups (successional guidance)

  • Assure success

Why is this work important?

  • Earth needs our attention & care NOW

  • Expedites ecological succession

  • Revives watershed stability

  • Increase water infiltration

  • Stores & sequesters carbon

  • Stabilizes climate/ forest & vegetation

  • Reduces erosion & topsoil loss

  • Enhances soil health & biological diversity

  • Productive & profitable land management

  • Regenerates communities & bioregions
