Environmental Planning and Management
HTP has been working with private land owners, nonprofits and regulatory agencies on the planning, permitting and implementation of restoration and regenerative land use projects for more than a decade. From the initial phases of conducting a site analysis - to project recommendation reports and implementation monitoring - we have the experience and ability to execute the collective goals of the working team.

Regenerative Agriculture and Forestry
After more than a century of extractive land management practices our soil and forest ecosystems are degraded and unable to adapt to climactic change. However, regenerative practices can restore these systems with simple changes over time. We can create a seasonal timeline based on existing conditions that includes minimal resource inputs for the purpose of restoring these once resilient systems.
- Soil restoration for water conservation and nutrient management,
- Forest management to promote carbon sequestration,
- Holistic land management for climate-adaptive systems.
Regenerative Land-Use
Not interested in growing food or raising animals as your primary goal? Are you interested in integrating better land management on your property? Through the establishment of a parcel-wide plan that integrates solar and visual sectors, flow patterns, and bioregional flora and fauna we are able to meet the client-focused goals with the least amount of ecological and economic impacts. Our Primary Site Assessment is designed to introduce how these concepts can be possible for you.
Suburban and Rural Homesteads
Our priority and passion is the integration of food crops, livestock and beneficial habitat for the purpose of establishing onsite systems for personal resiliency to climactic and economic changes. Not only do we live on our own homestead but we have been designing and developing homesteads in both the rural and suburban settings for clients for over fifteen years. No matter the size or location of your property, it is possible to develop integrated systems that bring you and your family joy and security through the holistic stewardship of plants and animals.
