We are an ecological landscaping organization specialized in permaculture design and invasive plant management. Located in Western Massachusetts.
At Tangled Roots we take a holistic approach to ecological restoration through permaculture principles and ethics, designing for people and planet.
Permaculture is a regenerative approach to human design and land use greatly influenced by Indigenous knowledge. Permaculture ethics are based in reciprocity and whole systems thinking, respecting the intrinsic value and worth of all beings.These ethics are defined as:
Earth Care: Accepting our role in the web of life systems, allowing all life to thrive and grow
People Care: Creating the resource availability needed for community existence and resiliency
Fair Share: Taking only what is needed, creating abundance to further the care of people and planet
Our designs are intended to embrace human belonging within the ecosystems we depend on, thereby restoring and enhancing ecosystem health and our sense of interdependence.
