In 2026, Land In Black Hands continued to grow through the relationships that make this work possible—with the land, with one another, and with the many people carrying knowledge, seeds, foodways, and traditions forward.
In 2025, Land In Black Hands continued a practice we hold with care: listening. Listening to the land as it reveals what it’s ready for, and listening to the people who feel called into relationship with it. Following our 2024 community visioning gathering, this year was less about rushing toward outcomes and more about activating the space with intention—testing ideas, building trust, and letting the work unfold in community.
