title: Land Stewardship Council
description: >-
A community governance practice for collective stewardship of land,
drawing on Indigenous land relationships and contemporary land trust
governance. The council deliberates on how land is cared for, who has
access, and how decisions about land are made collectively rather than
through private ownership.

steps:
- headline: Acknowledge the land
description: >-
The council opens by acknowledging the land itself as a living
presence and the Indigenous peoples whose relationship to the land
- headline: Present the stewardship matter
description: >-
The matter — a land use decision, a restoration project, a question
of access — is presented with its full context.
- headline: Deliberate in the land's interest
description: >-
The council deliberates not only in the interest of human members
but in the interest of the land and its non-human inhabitants.
- headline: Decide by consensus
description: >-
Decisions are made by consensus, with attention to those absent
and to future generations who will inherit the land.
- headline: Commit to action and reciprocity
description: >-
The council commits to specific stewardship actions and to
reciprocal obligations — what the community will give back to
the land.
outcome: >-
Land is governed as a shared responsibility rather than a commodity,
with decisions made in the interest of the land and future generations.
practice: >-
Indigenous communities have stewarded land through council for
millennia. If you are not Indigenous, approach this practice with
humility and follow Indigenous leadership where available. The land
is not a resource to be managed but a relationship to be maintained.
