The mission of Root to Rise is to encourage community and personal discovery of ecological and social systems through experiential permaculture learning, and provide opportunities to shift from theory to practice and embodiment.  
Permaculture is the process of using systems thinking and ecological design to meet human needs while creating resilient, diverse and thriving ecological and social systems.  Root to Rise is bringing permaculture out of the classroom and into the world by connecting students of permaculture to community projects and needs.

​"We must turn all our resources to repairing the natural world, and train all our young people to help. They want to; we need to give them this last chance to create forests, soils, clean waters, clean energies, secure communities, stable regions, and to know how to do it from hands-on experience."
