Building Collaborations - Above and Below the Ground.

Taproot Collaborative undertakes Earth regenerating projects that offset climate change, restore biodiversity, and foster resilient people, communities and environments.

Our current focus is on restoration of forests, springs, and streams in the Sky Islands of Southern Arizona. In designing our projects, we collaborate with native tribes, government agencies, and scientists.
