Bio-cultural Restoration Field Stations, Skykomish River

Hello Folks,

Come join us for a long weekend on the Skykomish River near Monroe, Washington. We are experimenting with the "restoration" of useful native forests on conservation sites for foraging and harvest.
Here is the invitation. This is part of a larger vision of a semi-nomadic-land-access-and-distributed-gathering-places-in-exchange-for-stewardship vision.

I have fond memories of floating down this river while exhibiting at the nearby fair grounds.

It is a good float... and our field station has a lovely swimming beach... Here's the flier...

We are going out again at the end of August...

Join us for a long weekend on the Skykomish River, near Monroe, Washington. We are working as guests on tribal land to prototype a regional self-organized volunteer-led system for increasing the constructive human presence and regenerative tending of conservation lands.

What does all that mean?... we figure it out by doing it.  Here's the signup, with links back to other resources. We camp, assist in the regeneration of riparian forests, play, forage, and tell stories.

In addition to a fun opportunity to get dirty and swim in the river, our prototype camp is an opportunity for co-education and apprenticeship to support future "site stewards".

We have started documenting our work in pictures on the Salish Sea Wiki (a sister project), our bioregional open knowledge network.
