Everyone waved it off. So many said it was out of reach,
... but there are billions of reasons why it must be done; you're one of them.

Jackson Earth Restoration Project was founded in 2024 to unite a community of like-minded people who will use their skills and talents to combat climate change using regenerative agriculture. Our mission is to provide a research center, outreach, and education. The aim is to increase water efficiency and conservation by building small check dams, and swales, and will continue with microbial soil regeneration methods. We want to share science in an entertaining way and help the world as much as we can.
Jackson’s campus is in the desert, and it's challenging. It's as dry as a bone and gets incredibly hot. The location is surrounded by predators like bears and mountain lions and small but highly poisonous creatures like rattlesnakes and Bark scorpions. Most would say that the odds are against us or that what we are trying to do is impossible, but we're here to restore balance or die trying. We hope you enjoy watching the transformation.

Millions of seeds and thousands of thriving trees spread across 160 acres, with one endless road stretching ahead. Welcome to my mission.
SPECIAL UPDATE:
My son’s surgery has been rescheduled to April 2nd. While I am away, I know he will be in good hands at the hospital, and my ex-wife has graciously agreed to ensure he gets home safely. With this assurance, my trip is now fully confirmed. I leave on the 9th of April and should be back by the 13th. Hopefully, my son will just be settling back into his home in recovery on that day.
My airline ticket and hotel arrangements are finalized. I will be staying in Kingman, which is about an hour from the property. For this trip, I am bringing a new drone with an impressive range and airtime of 43 minutes. My goal is to plot waypoints from one corner of the property to the other. Capturing footage from each waypoint will allow me to map the entire 160 acres, something I believe others may find intriguing.
Additionally, I’ll be using an endoscopic camera to explore the mystery holes on the property and identify any wildlife that might inhabit them. Protecting the land and its wildlife is a priority for me, so I aim to avoid disturbing any creatures while planning the placement of habitats and water lines for the well. I am committed to preserving the natural balance of the area.
While I won’t be able to do as much planting as I’d like, it’s important to me to honor the tree-planting requests I’ve received so far. I want everyone who has requested a tree to know that what we plant today has the potential to thrive for decades, even long after we are gone
We are better together!

Special Need:
We urgently need an excavator. If anyone can help us find one that is affordable, in good working condition, and durable enough to last through the next year, we would be extremely grateful.
NASA will fly your name around the moon and even land probes on Mars with your digitized namesake. But what if you could be remembered for doing something closer to home?
As many of you know, I am dedicated to planting a flourishing forest across 160 acres in Arizona. Inspired by NASA's mission to share their achievements with the world openly, I aim to extend this initiative to all who care about combating the climate crisis. For every person eager to make a difference, I am planting a tree on their behalf—entirely free of charge. The land, seeds, and saplings are already in my care, and this project is my commitment to a greener future.
While I cannot guarantee the survival of every tree planted, I am doing this with everyone's participation in mind. Logistically, keeping track of everyone involved has been challenging. To streamline this process, I created a list on BlueSky and the hashtag #OurBlueSkyForest.
I have also created a spreadsheet with:
- Garmin GPS coordinates of each tree
- Type of tree planted
- Height
- Growth rate
- Potential lifespan of the tree (some trees can live 200 to 300 years)
If you would like to dedicate a tree to someone or have your tree planted, I am happy to assist. Climate change is happening, and if all we do is talk about it, nothing will ever get done. That's why I decided to buy the land.
Like NASA, this is not an instant program. There is time between visits to the property. Once your tree is in the ground, I can provide the coordinates or share them however you prefer. Soon, I will have a certificate available that you can print with your tree’s location.

Volunteer and join our mission
Our mission is to reverse over a century of damage and give Mother Nature the helping hand she deserves. But we're not just planting trees and building check dams. We're using innovative water retention designs and ingenious hacks to tap into the earth's biology and chemistry, making our approach unique.
The damage is evident, but knowing the symptoms allows us to diagnose, treat, and regenerate the soil in targeted ways. Our starting point is microscopic, and we gradually build up to larger plants, shrubs, and trees. With any luck, keystone species will move back into our region.

"Mardis" offers a brief yet intriguing exploration of physics, psychology, and theology, starting with the tale of Mardis, the author's grandmother on her deathbed. In her final moments, she imparted her last experiences and wisdom in a profound and unexpected manner. She pried open the threshold between life and death, allowing Dean to interpret his grandmother’s ultimate reflections when words failed her. As Mardis left the mortal realm, she bequeathed a cosmic conundrum that profoundly altered Dean's perception of reality and his own identity.
