Orman İyeleri - Forest Workshop #1
"Forest Calls Its Members” 🌀 Ida Mountains, April 16th In our approach to forest pedagogy, we engaged participants in a range of immersive activities, starting with forest rituals and storytelling to establish a cultural and spiritual connection to nature, followed by creating art using materials sourced directly from the forest. We explored the local flora and fauna, delving into the diversity of trees, plants, and mushrooms, and integrated interactive games and observations of microorganisms to enhance our understanding of the forest ecosystem. Practical skills were also a key component, with participants learning to build shelters and master essential survival techniques such as tool use and fire-making. Our sessions concluded with a communal picnic and a closing circle where everyone bonded over a shared meal, music, and songs.

Kendir Regenerative Hemp Cultivation
The Kendir Hemp Cultivation project in Türkiye is a regenerative farming initiative aimed at restoring soil health, biodiversity, and traditional agricultural knowledge. From April 4 to September 28, 2024, we cultivated 41,6 decares of heirloom hemp through a collaborative effort involving over 15 local community members. This effort produced 43 tons of hemp stalks and 3,000+ kg of seeds while supporting ecological balance and local livelihoods. This work revives Kendir (Cannabis sativa L.), a forgotten yet highly versatile plant with deep cultural roots. Historically marginalized for over a century, hemp is now being reintroduced to support modern industries including textiles, food, construction, paper, and bio-packaging. Our cultivation process began with regenerative soil preparation: compost, mycorrhizae, and organic manure, alongside heirloom seeds selected for their adaptability. Planting followed precise spacing and depth guidelines, with irrigation handled through careful sprinkler use. Manual weeding maintained soil structure and team engagement. To enhance biodiversity, we integrated over 100 beehives into the hemp fields. These supported a thriving pollinator ecosystem and even resulted in cannabis honey; a rare and valuable product of agroecological synergy. Key Impacts: - Empowered and employed local farmers - Revived heirloom hemp and traditional knowledge - Enriched soil fertility through biological amendments - Boosted biodiversity with heirloom seeds and beehives - Contributed raw material to regenerative industry value chains Looking ahead, we plan to expand to new lands in 2025, scaling our impact and deepening our commitment to a regenerative future.
Earthist Network
Initiated in 2019, Earthist Network is a community-focused initiative dedicated to preserving heirloom seeds and promoting regenerative practices within the bioregion. Our core team has primarily focused on cultivating hemp, known for its environmental benefits and diverse product potential, while supporting other farmers in the network. One of the key focuses of our project is to create a knowledge base for hemp and regeneration-related information to share with the community. https://earthist.gitbook.io/earthist/ecosystem/earthist-network/decentralize-hemp-seeds/hemp-kendir Another key focus currently is the establishment of a pilot micro-processing centers for small and family-run hemp farms. The centers aim to alleviate a critical bottleneck in the industry by enhancing the value of farmers' raw materials. This step is crucial for strengthening regional economies and advancing our mission of seed preservation and promoting regenerative practices. --- ## Recent progress and continued efforts in the past year; ✅ **Launched a Quadratic Funding Round for community contributors:** https://mirror.xyz/earthist.eth/QMmPos14uC1epQaW-2lJRz1tXnTGl01nSva1HGFzyzM ✅ **Opening country’s first Hemp Store in Istanbul** ✅ **Hosted over 10 community events and workshops** ✅ **Launched https://earthist.gitbook.io** ✅ **Investing in mechanization and R&D** *Focused our efforts on seed-based products, including the development of hemp hearts, the nutrient-rich, edible cores of hemp seeds, derived from our local seeds. And we are actively working on developing a hempcrete machine.* ✅ **Donated over half of our seed-related products to the community and earthquake victims to support health and wellbeing.** ✅ **Collected and securely stored four varieties of heirloom cannabis seeds in our seed bank.** **✅ Successfully planted and harvested over 10 million seeds, both independently and through our network across 6 different regions** ✅ **DAO Operator Program** *We are focused on onboarding regeneration related projects, initiatives and NGOs into the web3 ecosystem and additionaly we are empowering local individuals to engage with decentralized organizations, complete tasks, and earn token payments. *
