SUMMARY:Weaving Community Together; A Bioregional Mapping Exercise
DESCRIPTION:Regenerate Whatcom is hosting this first “mapping” event-see below for details. There are 6 spots left for this workshop-please RSVP below. First six to RSVP will come! \n\n\n\nDetails of the day and location will be sent after registration. \n\n\n\n\nIf you are interested and not able to come\, stay tuned for information and opportunities after July 17th! \n\n\n\nYou are invited to a unique and special Bioregional Mapping workshop in service of regenerating Whatcom!   \n\n\n\nRegeneration is what nature\, when in balance\, does – keeps the whole system (in this case\, a bioregion) in balance so that all living things can thrive.  Our living systems are out of balance.  A strategy to return these living systems to balance\, to regenerate\, must come from an understanding of the whole – the watersheds\, ecosystems\, histories\, relationships\, cultural memory\, stewards that shape the landscape\, along with the roads\, political lines\, economies and more.   \n\n\n\nIt asks more than where things are. It asks how things are in relationship with each other\, what has happened here\, what is healing\, and what this place needs next — not from a particular perspective of a group or species\, but from a holistic\, systemic perspective.  This is what we call a “bioregional” perspective.  \n\n\n\n\nBioregional Mapping is a way to weave together and make visible for “better action”\, local\, traditional and scientific knowledge.  It draws its power from the community coming together. It  is a key step in a layered analysis of our “bioregion” and watershed in service of creating a strategy for regenerative projects and funding. Bioregional Mapping has a long history in Cascadia and the regeneration movement\, starting back in the 1970’s.  You can learn more here! \n\n\n\nWe will focus on the Nooksack River watershed and surrounding areas and work through a series of exercises to “map” things such as places we love or value; water\, soil\, forests\, ecosystems (healthy and damaged); human activity such as food production\, sources of pollution\, urban growth\, loss of farm fields\, resource extraction; and  where regeneration is happening and who is doing it.  Through the day we will discover connections and relationships\, harvest insights and more.    \n\n\n\nThe workshop will run from 9:00am to 4:00pm\, with time for a spacious catered lunch.   \n\n\n\nThis workshop is the first step in building the knowledge needed.  Please consider joining us to lend your unique knowledge\, perspective and love for this land.  We anticipate a series of “mapping” workshops will be needed to build the layered knowledge necessary for a robust regeneration strategy.
