From a Humble Storage to an Off-Grid Basecamp

What started as a metal container to store tools has grown into the beating heart of our reforestation mission — our forest Basecamp.

Perched in the mountains, our Basecamp was never meant to be more than a safe place to keep equipment. But as our work grew, so did the need for a space to gather, plan, and live close to the land we’re restoring. So, one step at a time, we turned that simple storage space into a fully equipped, off-grid work hub.

Powered by solar energy and supported by an emergency generator, our basecamp runs entirely off-grid. A mountain stream provides us with fresh drinking water, filtered right on site. This year, we also built our very first veggie garden — a small but vibrant space that will soon reward us with fresh produce.

In the heart of the woods, comfort still matters. Our dry toilets make daily life here easy and sustainable — turning 💩 into nutrients that help our trees grow. And for those staying a bit longer, we’ve added hot showers, so volunteers and visiting teams can enjoy a little luxury after a long day on the mountain.

We stay connected with the world through Starlink, allowing us to work remotely from the heart of the Mountain. Thanks to this setup, different teams — from Regen to Media — can collaborate seamlessly, share ideas in real time, and stay united in our mission.

Just next to the Basecamp we have added a geodesic dome, a unique space where we host team-building retreats, workshops, and gatherings for companies who join our reforestation efforts. Surrounded by nature, it’s a daily reminder of why we’re here: to regenerate this land and help ecosystems recover.
