Our Mission
Create a community of students passionate about taking care of the land, water, and each other.
Create a community of students passionate about taking care of the land, water, and each other.
Our work is grounded in four primary pillars:
1. Hands-on Restoration – Hosting weekly work parties across Sehome Hill Arboretum and the WWU campus, providing tools, guidance, and food.
2. Education & Professional Connection – Inviting guest speakers to connect students with practitioners in ecological restoration and related fields.
3. Community Engagement – Organizing and facilitating quarterly events that bring together students, local organizations, and community members in meaningful connection with the natural environment.
4. Collaboration & Partnership – Working alongside other clubs and organizations, recognizing that strong partnerships are essential to impactful restoration and fostering relationships between people and the more-than-human world.
Our Values
Our Values
● Place-Based Stewardship – Engaging students in the practice of ecological restoration within their local environment, with an emphasis on understanding the specific ecological, cultural, and historical context of place and how to care for it responsibly
● Community & Connection – Fostering meaningful relationships between students, faculty, and community partners to build a strong, supportive network rooted in shared purpose, trust, and a collective commitment to stewardship
● Experiential Learning – Prioritizing learning through doing, where hands-on restoration work builds ecological knowledge, practical skills, and leadership abilities through real-world experience
● Reciprocity & Care – Grounding our work in mutual respect for the land, the waters, and each other, recognizing that restoration is not just about giving back, but about participating in a reciprocal relationship with the more-than-human world
● Collaboration & Collective Impact – Working intentionally with student organizations that share similar missions (such as LEAD, Students for Climate
Action, Students for Renewable Energy, Salish Sea Club, etc.) to build stronger connections, increase awareness, and create a more unified presence around
environmental work on campus - especially in standing up for local initiatives that impact the climate and natural world. This kind of collaboration is essential, yet often under-practiced.
