Most of all Contour Lines seeks families dedicated to working and restoring their land; families that demonstrate serious interest in applying these regenerative systems. Each participating family will sign an agreement with this understanding, an agreement to ensure all families comply with the methods. Therefore we seek only serious participants. Only those who comply with the agreements will be eligible for incremental support each season.

We sign strict agreements to ensure the trees survive and bear fruit, the projects are successful, and Contour Lines can continue finding support for more communities.
