We have already regenerated 10 acres of forest once in the last 15 years.

Patch History & The Future Vision of Patch

This stunning, sacred conservation, forest regeneration, and mindful nature education project kicked off in 2008 with the vision of our founder, Bruce, believing that he and our original horticultural team could restore the Old Growth Hammock, the Matheson Forest Dwelling, and historic homes to create a sanctuary committed to reconnecting the broken bridge between Human Nature and Mother Nature.

In less than two decades, we have achieved that and more.

2026 opens the door for us to DOUBLE IN SIZE and be the ONLY REDLAND PROJECT to return agricultural land back to Nature.
