Triphyllum

Triphyllum is the ecological, land-based branch of Mixed Faces Wild Spaces - Named after Jack-in-the-pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum), a native spring ephemeral plant being from our local region known for its adaptability and transformation. We root our work in care, reciprocity, and relationship with place.While Triphyllum operates with it's own name and focus, it is a part of the overall ecosystem that is Mixed Faces Wild Spaces, and remains deeply rooted in the mission of the organization; to empower people with intersectional lived experiences to feel a true sense of belonging in the outdoors.When collaborating with us, its more than a business interaction. We are creating tangible change in land and community, and we invite you to be a part of that!

Our Approach

At Triphyllum, our ecological practice is rooted in ancestral knowledge, collective care, and regenerative traditions. We draw from land-based ways cultivated by Indigenous communities for generations — grounded in reciprocity, observation, and deep relationships with land and more-than-human kin.These traditions have been carried forward and reimagined by Black land stewards and many communities of color across Turtle Island, often in the face of displacement and systemic harm. We honor these lineages and reject the idea that ecological principles now celebrated in mainstream spaces are new — they are part of a much older remembering.We do not claim to originate this wisdom, but participate in a living tradition — part of a collective movement toward decolonization, healing, and repair.We move away from rigid thinking about what is “native” or “invasive.” While we honor place-based species, we recognize ecosystems are fluid, and many beings labeled invasive respond to disruptions caused by colonization and ecological harm.Take the common dandelion: often dismissed as a weed, yet its deep taproot aerates soil and its early blooms feed pollinators when little else is available. In many places, it fills a role once held by now-vanished native species. Its presence is not a failure — it’s a response.In practice, this means we...Design with respect for the land’s story and ecological rhythmsRestore soil health through regenerative, non-extractive methodsSupport systems that uplift food sovereignty, biodiversity, and climate resilienceFor us, ecological care isn’t about rigid categories — it’s about relationship, reciprocity, and long-term resilience for people, planet, and more-than-human kin.
