Discover Bioregioning 2
Join us to explore how bioregioning could support climate resilience in our economy, ecology and culture in Chichester's region.
A vibrant future is not about the problems we can solve but the potential we can realise. All places have inherent future potential that comes from vitalising the unique qualities and characteristics of its place. From the flora and fauna that naturally inhabits a place to the culture and enterprise that supports human flourishing that stems from that bio-cultural uniqueness.
Were convening a community of interest and practice exploring how a bioregional approach could be a viable and vitalising approach of civic engagement in our region. At a time when its seems everything is changing, we need strong civic relationships more than ever. And we need the ecological, economic and cultural systems on which we depend, to be healthy, fair, and vibrant.
Working at the scale of the bioregionhow human societies have organised themselves for millenniawe can see the many ecological, as well as human economic and cultural systems that create aliveness and vibrancy within our place.
Bioregioning is described as the set of skills and pathways that bring vitality to these connections and enable us to take action at systems scale. Critically it brings together efforts that are often siloed and looks at the whole picture of bioregional health; across ecology, economy and culture.
A bioregion is a geographic area defined not by political or economic boundaries but through its natural features its geology, topography, climate, soils, hydrology and watersheds, agriculture, biodiversity, flora and fauna and vegetation. Its also defined by its culture and economy.
Were exploring the region around Chichester, the coastline, the inland landscape, and the bioregion it inhabits. How big is it? How far does it stretch? What territory would feel like home but also be a manageable area to actively work on revitalising and regenerating our ecological, cultural and economic health?
