The stewardship exchange
Outdoor space, cared for by the people who use it.
Outdoor space becomes an asset the moment someone is responsible for it. POLLN names that someone, and keeps the record.

Two participants
One holds the ground. One cares for it.
POLLNe
The provider
The organization or individual that owns, controls, or provides an outdoor space — and benefits from its stewardship.
POLLNr
The steward
The person who occupies, cultivates, cares for, and creates value within that space.
The exchange
How a place becomes stewarded.
POLLNe
Publishes a place
An underused outdoor asset is defined: boundaries, access, expectations, and the value it will return.
POLLN
Issues a license
The exchange turns a place into a stewardship opportunity with terms both parties can rely on.
POLLNr
Occupies and cares
A steward takes responsibility — planting, watering, pruning, repairing, returning.
POLLN
Verifies the care
Structured check-ins record what happened against the asset passport.
POLLNr
Receives reward
Credits, produce, access, and recognition are issued for verified stewardship.
POLLNe
Measures the value
Participation, ecology, and community outcomes are reported — and reinvested in more ground.
Care, defined
Maintenance keeps a place from declining. Stewardship makes someone responsible for whether it thrives.
Founding season
We are choosing the first sites now.
POLLN is early. Tell us who you are and where you are, and we'll come back to you personally.
A place that someone is responsible for behaves differently than a place that nobody is.
