Our Mission.
The California Meadows Collective is dedicated to promoting resilient, regenerative landscapes through the preservation and restoration of California's native grasslands. We advance ecological education, support community engagement, and empower future land stewards by teaching the practical use of native grasses and low-water, fire-resistant plant materials. We cultivate knowledge, inspire conservation, and advocate for initiatives that restore biodiversity, reduce water consumption, enhance fire safety, and honor the harmony between nature and cultivation.

Restoration & Research
We conduct microplot studies on species adaptability across California's microclimates, support seed banks and native nurseries, and collaborate with community-led restoration projects to achieve measurable ecological outcomes that restore biodiversity and build climate resilience.
