Founder
Mark Matzeldelaflor is a Navy SEAL combat veteran who has committed his life to helping veterans heal, connect, and find purpose through regenerative work in nature. Driven by a vision to inspire individuals to do good works within local communities, his passion is reconnecting humans to our natural roles as stewards of the earth and acknowledging the great spirit which connects all life and empowers us to improve the environment for our children and future generations. Mark grew up in the backwoods of New Hampshire, loving the forests, lakes, and mountains as his home. After losing too many veteran friends to suicide and reflecting on the detachment of returning veterans in society, Mark had an epiphany that led him to reconnect to his roots in nature to help solve the problems close to his heart. He founded Guardian Grange to serve as a veteran-powered, regenerative healing network — helping veterans heal by protecting natural resources and growing a network of regenerative communities in line with his vision to establish a soil-based economy which values naturally balanced ways of living to improve humanity and our relationship with the earth.
