California Launches Policy to Restore 7.5 Million Acres to Indigenous Stewardship California has announced a landmark policy to return stewardship of 7.5 million acres of land and coastal waters—about 7% of the state’s territory—to Indigenous tribes. This initiative, led by the California Natural Resources Agency, is designed to address the state’s role in a 175-year-old injustice. After California became a U.S. state in 1850, federal treaties promising land for tribal reservations were secretly rejected, leaving many Indigenous communities without their ancestral territories. The new policy seeks to heal this history by creating formal pathways for tribes to manage and access land through three types of agreements: access agreements (allowing tribes to use land for cultural activities), collaborative agreements (co-management between landowners and tribes), and land return agreements (transferring ownership to tribes). Officials and tribal leaders emphasized how traditional Indigenous land practices—such as controlled burns and wetland stewardship—can help restore ecosystems, reduce wildfire risk, and revive cultural traditions. Advocates including Morning Star Gali and Angela Mooney D’Arcy praised the move as a meaningful advancement but stressed that true justice requires long-term land return and sustained investment. The policy follows recent examples of Indigenous stewardship, such as cultural burns by the Karuk Tribe and the establishment of the Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary. While no deadline was set for reaching the 7.5-million-acre goal, the state hopes this marks a shift toward reconciliation, ecological restoration, and recognition of tribal sovereignty.

After decades of toxic mining waste turned their Oklahoma land into a Superfund site, the Quapaw Nation reclaimed and restored it, making it safe for bison, crops, cattle, and tribal life.

What was once poisoned is now productive and sacred, a quiet victory for land, people, and future […]

Committee approves bill to require recycling of end‑of‑life solar panels The Natural Resources & Environment committee approved a committee substitute to a House bill requiring end‑of‑life solar panels be sent to legitimate recycling facilities and to restore leased land after projects end; members removed an earlier provision for an EPD‑maintained directory.

Georgia is taking a significant step towards sustainability by mandating the recycling of solar panels and restoring leased land to its natural state once projects conclude.

The real magic happens when you combine cover croppingand agroforestry.
The cover crops heal the soil surface.
The trees provide structure& deep nutrients.
Together,they rapidly turn barren land into a thriving, resilient ecosystem. #LandRestoration

Projects like these will be sped up by robotic automation and drone seed planting in the near future. That will be the way we regenerate the entire planet. With AI taking jobs, it makes sense for the population to focus on these gigantic, worthwhile undertakings. #landrestoration #permaculture
