Mission Statement
Our mission is to improve the health of land - including its biodiversity, its aesthetic, its human impact, and its function - through targeted education at all levels, directed research, restoration of unhealthy land, the promotion of native plants, and programs that instill land health awareness within all.
Description
LandHealth Institute is a Philadelphia-based nonprofit organization whose mission is to "Put Nature Back" through exploration, environmental education, and community-based land revitalization. LandHealth aims to build environmental awareness and appreciation while enhancing the environmental, social, and economic vitality of the city.
LandHealth's philosophy is grounded in the belief that healthy land is at the root of healthy communities. Our mission is to plant seeds of discovery, knowledge, and stewardship. As an expert facilitator of robust community engagement, we elicit a deeper understanding of community ecology, economy, and cultural identity leading to holistic planning and design projects. We spark visible change to restore the ecological, social, and economic health of urban communities.
