// Round Mountain Institute //

Uniting our greater community in restoring the health of our soils, the flow of our waters, and boosting the vitality of our local economy.

Through education, shared resources, and hands-on regenerative practices, we work side-by-side to heal the land, strengthen our resilience, and create a future where abundance benefits us all.

We provide workshops and educational opportunities demonstrating the multitude of vibrant regenerative practices in the North Fork Valley. We also provide support through fundraising for local organizations dedicated to regenerative practices and to assisting farmers transitioning to and practicing regenerative principles in as many ways as possible.

Round Mountain Institute operates a community-based, charitable regenerative agriculture and water stewardship initiative centered on a 7.5-acre demonstration landscape on Garvin Mesa in Delta County, Colorado. The project is designed to restore soil health, improve hydrologic function, and increase agricultural resilience in a semi-arid, water-limited environment representative of much of Delta County and the Western Slope.

Phase 1: Project planning and baseline assessment (Months 1-3)
Phase 2: Water-harvesting and earthworks installation (Months 3-ongoing)
Phase 3: Vegetative establishment and soil biological enhancement (Months 6-ongoing)
Phase 4: Monitoring, adaptive management, and education (Months 9-18)
Phase 5: Project evaluation and knowledge sharing (Months 15-18)
