Local projects inspiring global change
Landscape design and development as tools for planetary regeneration
Owning land or managing a land-based project is a responsibility. At times, it can feel like a burden. But it is also an opportunity to create change and build a legacy.
We founded Landstory to help our customers create thriving places that are valued by all who inhabit them, in our lifetimes and for generations to come. We do this by supporting you to overcome complexity so you can realise the full potential of your land-based project. Working with us, our customers develop a powerful sense of purpose and the driving motivation to create a long-term legacy. The impact can be quite profound.
The world needs your energy and ambition
There is a bigger picture, too. Your project, however small or large, is part of a growing global movement to heal the Earth. We love working with those who share our belief that it’s high time we moved from a human-centred world view to an Earth-centred one.
It’s imperative that we understand our role as a keystone species and stewards of this planet. If we look after it, it’ll continue to look after us.
For us, sustainability—which essentially means doing less harm—is not enough. To help you achieve change on all levels, we combine technical expertise with deep respect for people and living systems. We aspire to go beyond sustainability, supporting landscapes to flourish: storing carbon in trees, plants, and soil; converting monocultures in polycultures; regenerating watersheds; producing food, timber, balance, and abundance.
Creating a clear direction of travel
Setting the right goals and working towards them can be hard. In our time, we’ve seen projects fail and resourceful people become disillusioned.
From our experience of working with individuals, the public sector, and housing developers, we’ve learned that the most important thing is to start strongly. Create a clear but adaptable vision and get buy-in from all interested parties. That way you give yourself the best chance of success.
Like with any field, in the world of landscape design and development there’s the way it’s usually done and the way it could be done if those involved were motivated by a deep sense of purpose. We’re firmly in the second camp.
