helping people help the land

Orenna is a member-owned environmental collective that turns ecological uplift into real-world value.

We unite restoration scientists, engineers, land stewards, and impact investors to fund—and transparently verify—projects that heal rivers, wetlands, forests, and working lands. By tokenizing measurable “lift” in biodiversity, water quality, soil health, and climate resilience, we channel private capital into on-the-ground action while giving beneficiaries a clear line of sight to outcomes. It’s simple: you back restoration, we record every gain on-chain, and together we help people help the land—at the speed and scale our planet needs.

How it Works

IMPACT INVESTORS

ESG funds are looking for transparent, measurable and verifiable environmental outcomes to invest in.

RESTORATION AND LAND STEWARDSHIP

Private capital is deployed to plan, design, implement and monitor nature-based solutions.

LIFT UNIT MARKETPLACE

Verified improvements in biodiversity, carbon, water, fire risk, and habitat suitability are tokenized and sold to beneficiaries.
