Christie Green

“I’m interested in a land ethic that’s reverent, poetic, visceral and vulnerable. An ethic based in reparation and reciprocity.”

Author, designer and landscape architect Christie Green weaves the elegant and the edgy among land, art, ecology and people. Through her award-winning projects, she educates and inspires people-place connection, heightening public awareness about collaborative land stewardship, food cultivation and production systems, and native plant and animal communities. She is licensed in New Mexico and Alaska.

Christie’s debut memoir, Moonlight Elk: One Woman’s Hunt for Food and Freedom, the first in a trilogy published by University of New Mexico Press, was a finalist in the 2025 New Mexico Book Awards. Her writing about hunting, a feminine land ethic and ecological stewardship has been published in numerous magazines and books including New Mexico Magazine, edible New Mexico, The New Farmer's Almanac and several literary journals.

Christie’s unique approach to land stewardship, food, water, animal habitats and soil has been featured in Landscape Architecture Magazine, The Santa Fe New Mexican, and the book Under Western Skies: Visionary Gardens from the Rockies to the Pacific Coast. A former fellow with the Center for Whole Communities Leaders’ program on the Intersection of Social and Environmental Justice, she works with indigenous communities around environmental justice and agriculture in New Mexico, Alaska and elsewhere. Christie harvests food for herself and her daughter and hunts solo in the eight eco-regions of New Mexico and elsewhere.
