Regenerate Bellingham: The Design Pathway for Regenerating Earth
Bellingham Unitarian Fellowship, 1207 Ellsworth St, Bellingham, WA, 98225Regenerate Cascadia and Transition Whatcom invite you to join us on Oct. 28 for an evening presentation on reimagining a stewardship path that better serves our home and on Oct. 29 for tours of local regeneration projects. These events are part of Regenerate Cascadia’s Bioregional Activation Tour. With stops in 14 different locations around the Salish Sea, this tour will serve as a kick-off to Regenerate Cascadia’s efforts to initiate a bioregionalism movement in Cascadia and will be capped by an online Bioregional Summit scheduled for early November. The presentation on the 28th will feature Joe Brewer, internationally renowned for his work in regeneration and bioregionalism, community artist and weaver Clare Attwell, and Brandon Letsinger, founder of Cascadia Now! and the Department of Bioregion (of which Regenerate Cascadia is a project). The tours will stop at three Whatcom County locations, highlighting various regeneration projects, including a live biochar burn! The presentation and tours aim to highlight and empower the incredible place-based networks, innovations, and on-the-ground work taking place across watersheds in the Cascadia bioregion, with a focus on Whatcom County, to regenerate damaged ecosystems, protect healthy ecosystems, address climate change, and promote sustainable ways of living, working and learning together that are just and equitable. For location addresses and to RSVP for the tours click here. For this tour to be successful, your voice is needed! In preparation for their future work in Cascadia, Joe and Brandon would like to gather your regeneration success stories, challenges, and hopes for the future. There will be opportunities to share your thoughts during Q&A after the presentation on the 28th and during the regeneration project tours.
