This week we are taking a look at our items from... The Landmark Project!!!

The Landmark Project is a company dedicated to supporting the long-term health, accessibility, and protection of our public lands. Their commitment to eco-friendly & sustainable materials, recycled fibers, and their use of 100% BCI organic cotton are just a few reasons we LOVE The Lankmark Project at H.H. Bennett Studio!
They are dedicated to liminating unnecessary plastic from their products to reduce their negative environmental impact; turning to unbleached paper and other natural fibers help replace plactic waste.

The Lankmark Project is partnered with organizations working on the front lines of conservation; partners like the National Parks Conservation Association, the National Forest Foundation, Leave No Trace, and the U.S. Forest Service. They work along side these conservation partners through a combination of financial support, product collaborations, and hands-on volunteer efforts. Things like trail work, river cleanups, and public awareness campaigns are just some of the things TLP does!
Through special projects, regional initiatives, and on-the-ground support where it’s needed most; The Landmark Project works close with smaller, community-based organizations because TLP knows they are essential to the health and enjoyment of local landscapes.
