Faith, Community & Civic Organizations

Get Started

Regeneration as Service

Land held by faith and community organizations carries deep meaning. It is where people gather, reflect, serve, and grow together. When soils are degraded, water is unmanaged, or landscapes become costly to maintain, those places quietly lose their ability to support the mission they were meant to serve.


Tierra Buena works alongside faith-based, nonprofit, and civic groups to restore land in a way that reflects values of stewardship, humility, and long-term care. Through soil regeneration, native planting, and water restoration, we help turn underutilized or struggling properties into resilient landscapes that invite connection, learning, and renewal.


Our work integrates ecological function with human use, creating spaces that are not only beautiful, but durable, accessible, and aligned with purpose.

Why It Matters

Faith and community organizations are often entrusted with land for generations. Yet erosion, compacted soils, and poor water management can slowly undermine both the landscape and the resources needed to care for it. Regenerative land design reverses this pattern by restoring the biological and hydrological systems that keep land functional over time.


By rebuilding healthy soils and resilient vegetation, organizations can reduce long-term maintenance costs, improve site usability, and visibly demonstrate their commitment to care for creation and community alike.


Healthy land strengthens mission, witness, and impact all at once.

Our framework in four phases

1

Diagnose

Assess soil health, vegetation, drainage, and water movement across church, nonprofit, or civic properties to understand current conditions and opportunities for regeneration.

2

Design

Develop restoration and landscape plans that reflect organizational values, site use, and community needs while restoring soil and water function.

3

Deliver

Implement soil restoration, native planting, erosion control, and water retention systems that bring the design to life with durability and care.

4

Demonstrate

Provide ongoing monitoring, education, and engagement tools that support long-term stewardship and shared responsibility for the land.

Our Core Solutions

Transform church grounds, retreat spaces, and campuses into regenerative, low-maintenance environments that reflect care for creation.

Create living spaces that teach ecological principles, support food access, and invite hands-on learning across generations.

Protect properties from runoff and flooding while restoring natural water movement and soil stability.

Enhance biodiversity and create sanctuaries for wildlife within shared community spaces.

Engage congregations, members, and volunteers in hands-on regeneration and seasonal care that builds connection and shared ownership.

Stewardship is sacred work.

Restore the land. Strengthen your community. Live your values through regeneration.
