As a consultation service, Symbiotic Soil Solutions (SSS) pulls research from conservation theorists and indigenous ways of listening. We mesh the work of science revolutionaries with indigenous land management practices to thoughtfully teach stewardship of green spaces. SSS started as a personal research project to understand the physical world through indigenous science. The project evolved into a service style, grassroots outreach campaign, with over 3000 engagement points. I entitled the project Agriculture and Forestry Management Applied to Urban Environments. I have been working with the support of entrepreneur mentorship programs: WiSys Level Up Launch Pad (LULP), WiSys Innovation On Ramp (IOR), and WARF UpStart. The University of Wisconsin Law & Entrepreneurship Clinic selected to provide SSS, free of cost, consultation on business service model. At SSS, we believe soil should be a civil liberty. SSS wants to prioritize your soil, so you can prioritize your future. SSS's plan is to start taking for-profit clients in late summer 2025.
