Christie Green
“I’m interested in a land ethic that’s reverent, poetic, visceral and vulnerable. An ethic based in reparation and reciprocity.”
Ms. Green is uniquely suited to write about the intersections of food, land, water and culture. Raised in Alaska, with a background in history from UC Berkeley and Landscape Architecture from the University of New Mexico, her award-winning projects educate and inspire people-place connection.
Her writing about hunting, a feminine land ethic, and the role of ecological stewardship in uniting the left and the right, has been published in local magazines and international journals. She participated in both the Bread Loaf and Orion Magazine Environmental Writers' Conferences in 2018 and completed a fellowship at the Center for Whole Communities Leaders at the Intersection of Social and Environmental Justice program.
Ms. Green has published in Dark Mountain, edible, Green Fire Times, Sun News, Seed Broadcast, The New Farmer's Almanac and Waxing and Waning (forthcoming fall 2022).
Her landscape architecture work at radicle aims to heighten awareness about food cultivation and production systems; native plant and animal communities; and water and soil through intelligent design.
Her design projects have been featured and celebrated in numerous publications including: The Santa Fe New Mexican, edible, Green Fire Times, Seed Broadcast, Palo Alto Weekly and TREND magazine. In the February 2019 issue of Landscape Architecture Magazine, her award-winning work was featured in the article: The Huntress: With Her One Woman Practice - radicle - Christie Green Works to Repair Our Relationship With Nature, Including the Plants and Animals We Eat. In 2021 she was featured in the Timber Press book, Under Western Skies: Visionary Gardens from the Rockies to the Pacific Coast and was featured in Jennifer Jewell’s podcast, Cultivating Place.
Ms. Green harvests food for herself and her daughter and hunts solo in the eight eco-regions of New Mexico, as well as multiple other states.
