Overview
Mission
In 2013, we learned of a problem. Our farming industry and our lands were slowly disappearing from existence. So we set out to make a difference & change the world. Today, we are steps away from embarking on an incredible journey of conservation. In our study we learned: the health of our people, the economy, our land and our food are all connected. In the Pacific Northwest we are faced with the following problems: Hunger Obesity Diabetes Homelessness Over Development of Rural Lands Over Development of Forestry Mass Production of GMO'd Foods Loss of Heirloom Seeds and Foods Lack of Economic Value In Farming Water Conservation Over Production of Low Nourished Foods and Processed Foods WNU has devised a series of projects to work on bridging the gaps made between this problems. We are taking a strategic approach to bringing awareness to the region around us by educating and interacting with our youth.
What it reported doing in 2025
We built and gave away 195 garden kits complete with soil, seeds, a cedar garden boxes, and tools for children to learn the importance of gardening. This turned into and join our project: Our Backyard. Today we are using a book and curriculum to teach kids healthy lifestyle choices and still give away kits.
