Mission & Vision

While Contour Lines is a registered 501(c)(3), we don’t do “charity for the poor…”

…. we provide working grants to farmers.

Our Mission is to plant trees on Contour.

We do it better. We plant native, biodiverse Food Forests with indigenous communities on their own land. We expand these tree grants only with the most dedicated families following our monitoring and training programs. Using this “Community Engagment Model,” developed over the past 12 seasons by our team of local technicians, we ensure high project success rates while scaling exponentially each season.

Contour Lines efficiently transitions land to regenerative agrforestry… restoring soil fertility and producing healthy food…. one foot at a time.
