about
The Flyway Foundation combines arts and conservation to restore and re-story rural landscapes throughout the Central Flyway, where the health and well-being of flyways, foodways, working lands (i.e. ranchland and farmland), and rural communities are interrelated.
The organization was founded in 2025 by Austen Camille and Dr. Joshua T. Anderson. Both are artists, writers, and land stewards living and working within the Central Flyway. To learn more about the founders and their work, click here.
mission
To support the health and integrity of flyways, foodways, and rural communities by connecting the arts and conservation with innovative agriculture.
vision
The Flyway Foundation believes that the health of our human communities, as well as that of the more-than-human world, is dependent upon the health of our lands and waters. We aim to foster working lands relationships between artists and land stewards to grow more native plant ecosystems throughout the Central Flyway, create new cultural and economic opportunities for farmers and ranchers, increase access to fresh and local foods in rural food deserts, and support a flourishing arts and culture sector within rural communities.
As land stewards, we seek to reimagine the Central Flyway by reseeding plots of land, and as artists and storytellers we seek to rewrite the plots of rural stories from across a range of human and more-than-human perspectives.
