Land Management Projects
A look at what regenerative design looks like at ranch and conservation scale, work measured in hundreds or thousands of acres rather than lots. Every project here runs on the same principle as everything else we do, read how water moves across the land before changing anything, just applied at a scale where the numbers get large fast. For the full breakdown, see Land Management services.
Operation Insoak– Cuero, Texas
This project set out to eliminate surface runoff entirely on a thousand acre ranch near Cuero, returning rainfall to the land through soil infiltration and seep springs rather than direct creek discharge. Working across significant topography, the design employed brush berms, one rock dams, zuni bowls, beaver dam analogs, and modified existing conservation terraces. Phase one served as a pilot to test each approach and gather real world data before scaling across the full acreage. The potential annual capture across the property is 432 million gallons.

Watershed Restoration and Rotational Grazing Design – Spicewood, Texas
This project addressed the compounding effects of decades of set stock grazing on a Hill Country property, including depleted topsoil, poor water infiltration, and near total loss of native ground cover. The design integrated planned rotational grazing, keyline plowing, basalt mineral amendment, and approximately 5,000 linear feet of broad contour conservation terraces. A subsequent phase added 8,000 native and food producing trees planted directly into those terraces using a no till tree planter. The result is a property moving from bare capped soil toward a functioning native savannah with measurably improving water retention and biodiversity.

Planting 4000 Trees — Cuero, Texas
This project revitalized a failed olive orchard by transforming it into a thriving food forest. Symbiosis planted more than 4,000 trees using a combination of regenerative systems including Miyawaki microforest establishment, syntropic agroforestry rows, rotational grazing design, and detailed food forest planting plans tailored to the site’s soils and microclimates. What began as a depleted monoculture is now evolving into a layered, resilient ecosystem designed to produce food, improve soil health, restore habitat, and create long term climate resilience for the land.

Land management work at this scale runs through a free good fit call and an on-site consultation before any design begins, the same process as our other work, just built for the acreage and complexity involved.
