Warren Piece, Co.Warren Piece Co is a member-led, non-profit community rooted in the connection between people, land, and the spirit of mutual flourishing.
Originally established as a private land trust in the early 2000s, WP Co. transitioned to a nonprofit organization in 2024. Guided by the dedication, vision, and joyful grit of those original members, we are now planting seeds of deeper reciprocity—among ourselves, within our wider community, and with the generous Earth that continues to sustain and inspire us.
Members share the responsibilities of maintaining the prairie, woods, and wetlands of the Warren Piece property and creating opportunities for humans to develop a kinship with nature.

“If one [pecan] tree fruits, they all fruit— there are no soloists. Not one tree in a grove, but the whole grove; not one grove in the forest, but every grove; all across the county and all across the state... What happens to one happens to us all. All flourishing is mutual.”
