Growing Soils, communities & Futures
REGENERATE EARTH NATURALLY
We focus on growing soils, communities and futures through consultancy, education and advocacy, and through peer and network support.
Solutions found in nature to build prosperity for people and planet.

The Soil Energy Network. Can Canberra’s Underground Sponge Create Cooler Cities?
Part of the solution to Australia’s intensifying heat waves might be right under our feet. Not in tech or infrastructure, but in how we manage our urban grasslands. Australia faces increasing urban heat stress Aircon cooling approaches are energy-intensive and costly...
Canberra Trial Aims to Cool City Using ‘Soil Sponge’ Technology
A groundbreaking 24-month trial is underway in Harrison to naturally cool Canberra's urban heat using an innovative approach inspired by successful Finnish experiments, with the support of the ACT Government. The "Rewetting Our Urban Soil Sponge" project team of land...
Rewetting the Urban Soil Sponge: Cooling Canberra from the Ground Up
🌱 A cutting-edge trial in Harrison, ACT, is turning grassland into climate infrastructure. By rewetting Canberra’s soil sponge, we’re naturally reducing heat and rehydrating the city. Canberra is heating up—but nature has a solution. A new urban cooling trial in...

Regenerate Earth
The practical drawdown of 20 billion tonnes of carbon back into soils annually, to rehydrate bio-systems and safely cool climates
– Walter Jehne
Herbivores, methane, mis-information and dangerous climate extremes
Things are not always what they are promoted to be by vested interests.
– Walter Jehne
Hydrological Cooling
How hydrological processes naturally regulate and cool Earth’s climate. The 10 natural hydrological processes that govern the heat dynamics and cooling of our climate. – Walter Jehne
METHANE
Its Sources, Sinks, Myths, Risks, Accounting, Solutions and our Imperatives. – Walter Jehne
Featured Video
Australia is aridifying as its climate changes.
Scientists advise this is due to the southward shift of global pressure zones as well as the re-radiation of extra heat from bare areas that create high pressure heat domes that block the inflow of moist low pressure air.
The consequence is lower rainfalls, reinforcing that we have to conserve and more efficiently use every drop. Can we harvest more of the water that flows continually over most landscapes from the ‘rivers in the air?’
The discussion in the film explores the natural processes and evidence in our landscapes and if we can potentially access these unrecognised sources of water to help rehydrate the land.
Rivers In The Air
Can they help regenerate Australia’s liquid heart?
