Mackenzie and Nisha speak in depth about the inherent issues surrounding the colonized aesthetic and degenerative management of university campuses across the US, the health risks they pose to students and groundskeepers, and what it takes to create collaborative pathways toward actualizing regenerative, native landscapes that serve the land and the community. Mackenzie shares her deep understanding of ground reality and the profound and manifold results of integrating wilder landscapes within managed campuses.
This wholesome story spotlights an action-oriented approach that decentralizes power by enabling young people to work with the system while creating processes and frameworks that engage with stakeholders to commit to bringing biodiversity and wilderness back into their environments.
