A hard frost waiting for the winter sun in the French Alps
"A cold coming we had of it," wrote T.S. Eliot. "Just the worst time of the year for a journey, and such a long journey: The ways deep and the weather sharp, the very dead of winter."
But beneath this stillness, something essential is happening.
The soil is resting. Storing carbon. Holding water. Preparing for what comes next.
This is the work that doesn't rush - the invisible, patient work of regeneration.
As the new year gets underway, we're taking cues from the land: observe, wait for the sun, get ready to grow.
At Lost Glacier, we're building a cooperative for biochar-based carbon removal and carbon farming - to restore lost biodiversity and keep those who work the land and the forests at the center of the solution.
Sometimes the most important work happens beneath the surface.
