SUMMARY:Regenerative By Design (Whatcom Water Week)
DESCRIPTION:Regenerative by Design: How Water, Soil, and Carbon Cycles
  Shape Our Hope for the Future\r\nThis is the 2nd event in the Regen
 erate Whatcom series, \"Walking Whatcom Waters.\" \r\n\r\nStep into t
 he living Water integrated landscape designed at Inspiration Farm. Joi
 n Brian Kerkvliet, regenerative farmer, educator, and co-steward of th
 is permaculture demonstration site, for a grounded conversation at the
  intersection of land use, water, carbon sink, food and social systems
  that lead to climate resilience. Learn how we can design a water inte
 grated landscape all over Whatcom county and beyond.   Through the len
 s of permaculture, we will explore how intentional design can restore 
 balance to the water, carbon and nitrogen cycles, while producing nutr
 itious food, capturing and storing energy, and building long-term ecol
 ogical and community health. This session will take place on-site at t
 he farm and include dialogue, demonstration, and a systems-level persp
 ective on how to meet this moment with regeneration rather than extrac
 tion.\r\n\r\n\r\nBrian Kerkvliet is a permaculture practitioner and re
 generative land steward with over 25 years of experience designing and
  managing resilient food systems. At Inspiration Farm—a working hom
 estead and teaching site in Bellingham, WA—Brian applies whole-syste
 ms thinking to everything from soil health and water catchment to pere
 nnial polycultures and appropriate technology. He consults widely on r
 egenerative agriculture and permaculture design, helping landowners an
 d communities reimagine waste, inputs, and abundance through nature’
 s cycles. Brian’s work invites us to rethink our role, from consumer
 s to stewards, at a time when such a shift has never been more urgent.
   This is a Regenerate Whatcom event, in association with The Whatcom
  Watersheds Information Network (WWIN), as part of Whatcom Water Week.
