Therapeutic Green Spaces for Future Habitats

Scaling Rothrock trails & campus gardens to thin-air sanctuaries • 14-week soil & mind cycles

The scent of pine needles and the cool texture of moss underfoot anchor us. On Mars, recycled air will carry the same need for living chlorophyll and quiet reflection.

14-week protocol: Week 1-2 soil prep & seed selection; Week 6 community workshops; Week 12-14 mental wellbeing audits using sensory logs.

Every habitat leaf layer becomes a page in our shared mental ledger. Dual-verified: one for plant health, one for human peace.
