Ecological Stewardship
At the turn of the new millennium, the Breitenbush Eco Fund acquired 67 acres of forest land adjacent to Breitenbush Hot Springs (the other "half" of the original 160 acre Breitenbush homestead). Slated for major development, this once pristine wildlife habitat was clear-cut, bulldozed & dynamited. Roads, ponds & cabins were built, geothermal wells drilled, and industrial waste dumped. This activity damaged the land but created great energy & restoration potential.

Thanks to generous donations from our supporters, the Fund was able to save this land from development, and in 2002 we transferred the title to Breitenbush Hot Springs Retreat & Conference Center, in exchange for a conservation easement that protects the land in perpetuity.

Breitenbush Eco Fund has a continuing interest in this land, viewing it as an enduring living laboratory of wildland restoration and appropriate technology. We continue pursuing opportunities here and elsewhere to restore land once deforested or "developed". Your continued support helps us in our mission.

Holistic Education
As holistic healing and wellness education becomes more widely accepted in our culture, it is especially important to make these resources affordable and accessible to a diversity of individuals and communities. To accomplish this, the Breitenbush Eco Fund underwrites programs and workshops, and provides scholarships for low-income people.

Restoring the balance of mind, body and spirit in the individual promotes personal healing and healthier communities.
