Mud Valley Institute
A regenerative education and action focused nonprofitProtecting and regenerating ecosystems by empowering people and engaging communities
Mud Valley Institute is a nonprofit that works to reverse the effects of desertification in both our local ecosystem and greater bioregion to assure improved soil quality, water availability, biodiversity, and local livelihoods.
Mud Valley Institute is also part of a global network of ecosystem restoration communities engaged in regeneration efforts, and is creating a Bioregional Learning Center to empower people to be effective agents of change and regeneration in their communities. It also supports educational efforts in the areas of eco-social regeneration and ecosystem restoration.
Their activities fall into three primary categories:
- Programs and training,
- Scientific research and projects, and
- Grants for organizations with a regeneration focus.
Mud Valley Institute sponsors the Tuesdays of Regen volunteering program here at Quinta Vale da Lama, and their Soil Lab is an onsite, field-based laboratory conducting soil health-focused research and experiments. The organization is based at Quinta Vale da Lama.
