How We Think About Land

Speaking and Media

Dane Hoover speaks and writes on regenerative land design, treating property as a productive asset, and the economics of building a design-build practice. Available for podcasts, conference sessions, seminars, workshops, and panels.

Topics

Three lanes, depending on the audience. For design and horticulture audiences: regenerative land design, food forest systems, native plant selection, and the practical ecology of residential properties. For business and trades audiences: building a design-build practice, pricing project work, and productizing expertise into remote consulting. For property, finance, and development audiences: land as a productive and appreciating asset, the conservation funding landscape, and what landscape work actually returns.

Formats

Podcast and video interviews, remote or in person. Conference sessions and panels. Half-day and full-day seminars for professional audiences. Hands-on workshops covering planting, design process, or site assessment. Client and community education sessions for developers, land trusts, garden clubs, and professional groups. Remote formats are straightforward to schedule. On-site formats are arranged around project travel where possible.

Working from real projects

Sessions draw on documented work rather than general theory. That includes multi-year estate projects with recorded yield and cost data, conservation program applications carried from site assessment through approval, an ongoing video series documenting a flagship project across several seasons, and a working native plant nursery. The result is material with real numbers attached, which is a different session from one built on principles alone. Where a session calls for it, project documents, site data, and photography can be shared in advance so the material fits the audience rather than arriving generic.
