Workshop: Relational & Community-Based Stewardship

Trillium Sustainability + S2 +Green Seattle Partnerships 

As part of our Community Catalyst Coalition program, we are joing Seattle Forest Week at Mapes Creek headwaters with Trillium Sustainability (catalyst coalition member) and Green Seattle Partnership.

This event is a little bit of everything. Seattle Forest Week, workshop, show and tell, and some hands-on forest tending. The Trillium community has been tending forest and creek with an emphasis on building a community of stewards who is in a living, attuned relationship with the land and with each other.

We move slow. We cultivate a sense of place. And we are building skills and deepening ecological literacy. And we love to share meals! We feel clarity about the importance of this frame and we are eager to share what have been learning so far   ~~~ from Trillium Sustainability

From Concern to Community Power: Tools, Knowledge & Relationships for Creating Change

S2 Session Delayed to Wed Nov 4 @noon
Community Gardens: Gateway to Science in Community

In its best form, science is the process of making observations and tracking those observations for the purpose of connecting. Connecting to solutions, ideas, new questions. This session asks: What place do you care about? What questions or wonderings keep coming for you? What have you been noticing? Where do you want to connect or disconnect?

3 Day Virtual Conference ~ register for sessions >>>>>

Brought to you by our partners: STACC4J
This virtual convening is for you if you’ve ever seen a problem you wanted to fix, but didn’t know where to begin. Over three days, residents, organizers, researchers, advocates, and public partners will share practical tools for turning local concerns into (collective) action.  

Learn from people who have documented problems, gathered evidence, built coalitions, engaged agencies, and pursued changes in policy, practice, and public investment. Move from “I have a problem” to “I know how to begin, who to work with, and what steps I can take.”
