Restored Lands Geodesic Education Center
An Architecturally Eco-Friendly Property
The Restored Lands™ geodesic education center is our crown jewel, with aspirations of breaking ground by early 2030s. These locations will be places for everyone to come and visit to learn about sustainability & our environment while keeping an interactive & fun experience like in our REP. Our education centers will also support seasonal workers and experience gaining for folks interested in placing themselves within the outdoor industry. Starting in our home state of Colorado, we aim to implement a handful of these throughout the Rockies and Southwest, catering to anyone interested in the outdoors.

Long Term Vision
Coming 2030s!
RLGEC will have an outdoor amphitheater for speakers and community events, a native plant and botanical flower garden with a greenhouse, observatory, a grand dome showcasing our REP, the nonprofits work and more, as well as a dedicated space for conducting educational programs & events year round.
The center will boast new & exciting technology that will play a role in the interactive learning & visiting experience, exemplifying the symbiotic relationship between, people, tech & nature we envision for the future.
The aim in having a variety of interactive exhibits is to attract a larger audience – maybe those who wouldn't think twice about coming otherwise; giving more people the opportunity to learn and grow in sustainability & connection to our natural world.
In having these centers, we would attain a permanent presence around some of our most beautiful lands. We'll be employing workers, organizing regenerative efforts, connecting people to nature, educating + engaging visitors and bringing communities together. All while promoting our vision and expanding minds with featured speakers and our own uniquely crafted programs.
Eco Friendly structures hosting sustainability programs & events
Indoor & Outdoor Gardens
Another initiative we'd like to take up is growing and distributing native plants to the surrounding areas.
This will promote growth, awareness and enjoyment of our native plants locally, while supplying experience to our gardeners and adding a fun educational exhibit at the center for all ages.
These facilities will place an emphasis on promoting seasonal jobs to people looking to learn, teach or find their place among nature and/or the industry.
At locations where it may be applicable, we would like to have a small business initiative in place for local businesses to reasonably obtain a space in a designated geo dome from Restored Lands on the education center property. They will be able to sell things like refreshments to hikers, bikers, climbers, and whoever may be recreating or visiting the area.
Taking advantage of our dark sky's out west, we'll have a stargazing/astronomy & space education program in the summer months. Shining a light on the cosmos and the coming second space age, enlightening those with interest.
Restored Lands™ is Pro Earth, Pro Space.
Integrated & Interactive Technology throughout the Center
This is a place not just for learning and interacting, it is meant to be a place where the community, and beyond, can be together. This is a sanctuary where you can immerse yourself in serene native plant gardens, one-with-nature architecture, like minded people and a New Earth energy.
While these centers are a fun offering to the community, we believe them to be crucial in our long term effort of bridging the gap between humans and our understanding, appreciation & connection with nature.
Why Use Geoship Domes?
*As of now, we only aspire to work with Geoship for the partial creation of our education center. Currently, they are focused on residential structures but in time will branch out. The center is not dependent on working with Geoship but if we can work together when the time comes, we will!
Geodesic architecture is a building model of the future, not just on Earth but other planets as well. Geoship is a company making a sustainable, strong, affordable and healthy living option for both the planet and the people. Check out below to see how!
