Welcome to the Sheltering Pine Institute
We must envision a future where the diversity of nature and the dignity of the human being are simultaneously protected. It is a recognized human right to have clean water, to have a healthy environment. This right includes not just protecting human needs but the needs of the natural world. The Sheltering Pine Institute is committed to becoming a resource center to help our communities have access to the research and practical ideas that will fuel our solutions to the dual challenges of environmental sustainability and social justice.
