The Ecosystem

Pierre is a Founding Director of We Forest Earth & our lead citizen mycologist.
Raised on an organic farm in Tairāwhiti, Aotearoa his appreciation of natural processes and recognition of poor land management practices led him to explore holistic alternatives.
Over the 8 years of practising organic bush regen; Pierre witnessed the function of fungal decay within the context of weed burdened ecosystems. Inspiring the experimentation of applying endemic mycelium strains as a means to phase out woody weeds, coined Mycoregen. Pierre believes this biomimicry can serve to help rebalance weed infested ecosystems, while reconnecting people to Country. Seeing woody weeds through a different lens, he creates a tangible interface between life and death. Ushering in a new regime of perspective as to how we view our engagement with nature.
With a deep reverence for indigenous land practises and natural function Pierre sees We Forest Earth as a platform for individuals and communities to come together to solve ecological and social problems together. Stitching together the fragmented ecological and societal problems through the common unity of love of nature.
