The purpose of the Ecosystem Guild is to establish and sustain bio-cultural restoration field stations. Field Stations are temporary camps where our Guild gathers to study and restore ecosystems and our cultural relationships to place. They typically recur at the same places over time, where incremental efforts enhance ecosystem functions, the habitability of the site, and the skills, knowledge and abilities of participants.

The Guild aspires to operate field stations through the collaboration of independent groups without financial transactions, depending on gifts, reciprocity and shared purposes on conservation lands through the Salish Sea and surrounding bioregions. Wherever possible, the functions of field stations are self-organized so that field stations and the groups that support them can operate and expand largely independently of institutions.

Through this process we may develop an interconnected network of field stations across Puget Sound periodically opening and closing, matching the needs and opportunities of the land. By moving between these sites, anyone can participate in bio-cultural restoration and develop their skills, knowledge and abilities, while restoring biodiversity and hydrology and living a resource-efficient lifestyle.

-We are a regional volunteer-run cooperative to coordinate, train, and deploy skilled ecosystem management volunteers on "day camps" and  “expeditions.”  We develop restoration sites, study ecosystems, and complete projects, as an immersive and practical environmental education and community building experience.

-We are building a guild hall through a network of camps and sites where we gather, test appropriate technologies, and design regenerative ecosystems that produce useful materials.
