Starter Pack Get updates

Open access by default

The main Starter Pack remains ungated. Optional updates sit beside the downloads, not in front of them.

  • Use the on-page, printable or plain-text format that works best.
  • Each resource should be practical, low-friction and usable outdoors.
  • Optional updates never block access to the Starter Pack.

Start small, observe properly, then build from evidence

This ungated pack is for people who want to begin without buying anything or pretending they already understand their site. It is built around four simple weeks: observe, map, choose one small action, and record what changed.

Week 1 — Observe

Read the site before changing it.

  • Take repeatable photos.
  • Watch water and wind.
  • Notice access, shade, existing plants, and wildlife.

Week 2 — Map

Turn observation into a simple working map.

  • Mark wet areas and paths.
  • Mark sunny/sheltered areas.
  • Mark materials, hazards, and maintenance routes.

Week 3 — Choose one action

Pick the smallest useful intervention.

  • One bed, one compost improvement, one water observation point, or one habitat action.
  • Avoid permanent work until the pattern is clear.

Week 4 — Record and adjust

Measure the result before scaling up.

  • What improved?
  • What created extra work?
  • What should wait until another season?
