I’ve been quietly building Terrain, a tool for ecological intelligence.

Just ask: Where should I...
🔥 ...plan prescribed burns?
💧 ...collect stormwater?
🌱 ...create habitat corridors?

Terrain handles the data + analysis. You get clear maps.

Seeking California landscape planners to try it out!

This essence was something we tried to depict in the Living Infrastructure Field Kit for LA. Many believe LA is a desert. But it can sustain itself by collecting its own rain, rather than funneling it out to the ocean and draining distant watersheds.

Any self-respecting map of California will depict the Central Valley as a proper funnel. The best ignore political boundaries altogether.
