Hedeskov Center for Regenerative Practice explores and demonstrates regenerative principles, mainly within agriculture, construction and design. Hedeskov is a 180 ha farm as well as a multifunctional research and experience center.

The Center was officially founded in 2021 but stems from a seed that was planted over 40 years ago by owners, Jørn Aagaard and Jette Søndergaard.

 

Through practical experience, interdisciplinary partnerships, and knowledge sharing, we work to make regenerative principles operational and to disseminate our findings, inspiring as many as possible to benefit from regenerative practices.

 

Process is important to us and most of our projects are current and ongoing. Our biggest project to date is the restoration of a former school building, which we are transforming into a multifunctional research and experience center. We expect to open the Center in the summer of 2024 and use it to facilitate workshops, talks, exhibitions and much more.
