Years of growing a Tiny Forest in the Desert.
Timeline
Our History
The Attempts
Attempted to visit and learn from regenerative farms in Hawaii, Cuba, etc.
The Pitch
Pitching our nonprofit concept to Cornell University's "Small Farms" program: healing degraded land through the cultivation of food forests (YouTube)
The Land
For Every Star, A Tree began as an act of faith: what would happen if we cared for a single tree in the desert?
The Starry Night Skoolie
The Starry Night Skoolie was built. It evolved from being our only shelter, to a homey place of refuge for travelers.
The Tiny Forest in the Desert
Our Tiny Forest in the Desert grows from 100 square feet to ~500 square feet (across the entire 10-acre plot).
The Butterfly Garden
We expanded our "Tiny Forest" into a Butterfly Garden, where evidence of increasing biodiversity became harder to ignore. Birds, butterflies, bees, and all manner of insects, reptiles, mammals, pollinators, etc. came out to feast on the small oasis we had grown.
The Shutdown
We hosted our last community planting events and shutdown the Starry Night Skoolie, taking a breath to reorient.
The School
We launched our Nature-Based STEM workshops for local K-12 students, and distributed our first Sunflower Kits and Worm Boxes to families across Los Angeles county.
