Identifying patterns of humans, their relationship to watersheds, land, networks, and regional demographics. ESM is a process for neighborhoods to plan and map sustainable initiatives for re-localization, building resilient, self-reliant community. The workshop presents working case studies and engages participatory processes to develop an ESM framework for your local community or bioregion.

The evening presentation ("My Eco-Neighborhood") was very good. We had 54 people attend! Robyn is very much hooked into the Transition movement, and has been in contact with the Network in Totnes to help them address an important aspect that has not been well developed in regards to bioregional planning. This is what she's talking about tomorrow from 9am to 5:30pm.

If there's any way any of you can attend, I think this will be very helpful to us and our long term Transition planning!
