At Jackson Earth Restoration & Research Center, everything starts with terraforming, bringing arid land back to life using science‑based methods that small landowners can use. Terraforming is how we do the work. Conservation is why we do the work.
We’re a nonprofit science and conservation organization, and we’re not competing with anyone; we are trying to help future generations. The idea is simple but urgent: fight climate change by teaching practical, hands‑on restoration that helps people today and protects the generations who haven’t been born yet; and tell the story of those lost to honor their spirit.
Our 160‑acre property is a living laboratory. It has washes, wildlife‑monitoring cameras, trails, and active research zones where we test soil, seeds, and restoration strategies. The land is home to several protected species, including the Mojave Desert Tortoise, Bendire’s Thrasher, Gila Monster, and multiple raptor species, making restoration not just important but necessary.
Volunteers join us on the land because they want to take part in real climate action, and our workshops in permaculture and arid‑land restoration give communities the tools to rebuild damaged ecosystems themselves.
We also care deeply about remembrance. Our Memorial Forest is a place where trees are planted and dedicated to loved ones who have passed. Every tree we plant today carries a story; it honors life, fights climate change right now, and creates a safe place for future generations to gather. These trees will stand in the future only because we chose to act today.
Everything we do is grounded in science, built for real‑world use, and shaped by hope. Our goal is simple: help land, wildlife, and people heal together, now, and long after we’re gone.

- H₂O₂ (two hydrogen atoms, two oxygen atoms) germination: Phase I
- Ethylene Gas Stress Hormone for Hardiness in Extreme Environments: Phase II
- Pollinator and Wildlife Survey (Dwindling populations of insects and mammals)
- Weather Data Collection for better predictive models for fire and flash flooding
- Microclimate Mapping with Weather Station on site at the 160 V sites outside of the 160
- Water Conservation (Check dams and soil recharging methods)
- Soil Testing and Microbial Regeneration
- Biocrust Cultivation Trials
- Strip Seeding vs. Fertile Island Seeding
- Light Recipes in Hydroponics
It begins with us.
On July 5, 2024, I became the proud owner of 160 acres of land. I have the Deed and the desire to do something meaningful. We’re officially incorporated as a nonprofit in Florida, and our 501(c)(3) application was approved on November 22, 2025, by the IRS.
