Living Soil - Thriving Cities

What Does Your City Look Like?

Cities that work with natural water cycles cost less to run, stay cooler in drought, and resist fire and flood. We show governments, developers, and residents how. Save money by:
  • working with nature to reduce building and maintenance costs,
  • become resistant to the looming challenges of the drought-flood cycle,
  • reduce fire risk...

Our Strategy

Revitalizing soil is the first step in keeping the water we get. By enhancing the symbiotic relationships in the Biotic Pump - soil, plants, clouds - cities can cool, and become drought, fire, and flood resistant all at the same time - what's not to love?

Each of us has something we can do to revitalize LIFE

Government, with the correct policies and ordinances, can become both a driver and support for residents and businesses to partner with nature to revitalize the places where we live and work. The health of the community is the work of governance. Only a healthy ecosystem will assure a healthy community. Everything we do either makes our ecosystem either thrive or degrades it. Our choices make the difference!

When taking a whole system approach, each part of the system is critical, and each area needs to be healthy and capable of playing its part effectively. There are no heroes, only partnership matters.

Regenerative Farmers

One of the biggest levers we have to address the crises of weather and biodiversity loss. Agriculture's role, in helping wildlife and in replenishing the aquifer, can't be underestimated.

Every City Has a
​ Water Problem to Solve

The city of Spokane gets way more rainfall than they use. This is true of most cities. We need to keep the water we get. Soil is a huge sponge that holds water, let's use it!
