- The new Transformative Change Report makes clear that “Fundamental shifts in how people view and interact with the natural world can help accelerate the system-wide changes needed for a more sustainable world.” Truth is, there’s a lot we can do to kickstart that change.
- Educate your Neighbors. Host a talk at the library or local coffee shop on the vital importance of wetlands, grasslands, and forest ecosystems.
- Keep water on your property. Install rain barrels, rain gardens, and gray water systems.
- Green your community. Cool your town with biodiverse Miyawaki forests, pocket parks and rain gardens.
- Support regenerative farmers directly through farmer’s markets and Community Supported Agriculture.
- Check out this update from Mother Trees on their seed bank project, made possible in part by support from Bio4Climate. They help farmers, community leaders, and forest stewards restore degraded landscapes.
- On Sunday, March 9, Bio4Climate is teaming up with a handful of our Northern Virginia community partners to host renowned entomologist and best-selling author of Nature’s Best Hope, Doug Tallamy, in conversation on creating habitat in our own backyards. Learn more or rsvp!.
- Attention Suffolk County! Our friends at the North Fork Environmental Council are hosting a screening of John Feldman’s film, “Regenerating Life,” on February 8. We’re obviously big fans of the film (you might recognize a few familiar cameos), but so much of the material around farming and mitigating wildfires is particularly prescient right now.
- After taking Bio4Climate’s “Systems Thinking and Scenario Building” course in 2022, Erling Jorgensen wanted to share his learnings in a fun way that people with little training in biology and science could connect with. The result is “Journey of An Apprentice,” a written and visual essay about Life. Join Seacoast NH Permaculture for a fireside chat with Jorgensen on Thursday, February 20.
