The Bullock Brothers are one of the lesser known permaculture projects in the PNW but they are somewhat locally famous.

Looking at their history page a while back, I noted that one of the first big milestones they brag about was the return of otters to their waterfront on Puget Sound.

One of my favorite groups I ever worked with is Global Lake Ecological Observatory Network (GLEON) which conducts international team science to advance our understanding of lakes and their benefits in a changing environment.

Super fun group to be around and such an important corpus of research. The yearly all hands are always at research locations and have ample outdoor time.
