Landscape Group Application

Regenerate Cascadia invites you to join a growing movement of people and place-based groups working together to regenerate the Cascadia Bioregion. Through our BioRegen Program, groups can apply to become a Seed Group or Landscape Group and access tailored support to grow their impact. This application helps us create your group’s webpage, directory space, and tags for events and blog posts, while also including you in our newsletter and social media outreach.

Application

SECTION: Group Information

Identify your desired Circle of Commitment

Start a Seed Group: Start group meetings, get an information page on the Regenerate Cascadia website, find new people, share updates and events, and start collecting donations.
Become a Landscape Group: Continue facilitating regular group meetings, have at least three stewards, manage an information page on the Regenerate Cascadia website, share updates and events, start collecting donations, get grants, and/or hire people as contractors or staff to support your group’s work.

Let us know which circle of commitment you think best suits you at this time by checking one of the below boxes:

Identify 2-3 people who are currently the most active in your group.

Please list the people currently working together to facilitate and organize your group, along with contact information and a brief public biography. This information will serve as a public introduction and contact information for people interested in your work, and will feature in your group page on our website. Please ensure all text provided has been authorized by your group members for public sharing. For applicants seeking to become a Landscape Group, these people are your three Group Stewards.

Brief public biography (2-3 sentences to share on the website) *

Who would you like to be your group tech steward? *

Please nominate the person in your group out of the above three listed most equipped to be the primary point person for technical administration.

SECTION: Landscape Information

Identify your landscape name *

A landscape is a whole system lens that includes at least one watershed and helps you define the area that you call home. Landscapes are the smallest unit we take action in and are defined bioregionally rather than by city, county, provincial, or state boundaries. To help groups just forming (and also existing groups) we’ve attached a guided bioregional reflection activity for your group to identify your landscape name, at least for now, as this may change as your group grows. We strongly encourage people to engage this activity together as part of their application process as it will inform further questions and is a wonderful process.

What would you like your group email to be? *

Your group will receive a dedicated regeneratecascadia.org email to use as a main contact point.

Landscape Introduction *

Please share a brief description of your landscape that we can publish on the Regenerate Cascadia website.

SECTION: Landscape Vision

Please share your group’s vision for your landscape seven generations from now (that’s about 150 years), 10 years from now, and 12 months from now.

group Vision Identify

What would a fully restored and thriving landscape look like in seven generations from now? *

Please share your group's vision for your landscape seven generations from now. Include the health of ecosystems, watersheds, and non-human communities. What would it mean to be in “right relationship,” and for humans to live within the context of this place, as a positive force of life?

Looking ahead to the next 10 years… What does success look like for your group? *

How do you imagine your team growing, deepening its work, and connecting with a broader network of bioregional organizers and efforts? What might your group and regenerative work accomplish in that time?

...and in the next year? *

Finally, what specific activities, events, or milestones do you plan to undertake over the next 12 months—if your group is already active, please include a brief timeline of what’s happened so far.

Existing Partnerships *

If you have any, please list any organizations that your members are currently involved with, or who have been a part of organizing meetings, that you would like to share and list on the website as core partners. This is to help us visualize groups your already working with in your landscape. Don't overstress, this can always be updated, added to, or removed, later.

Groups or voices you want to reach out to in your landscape in the future *

This question about identifying who you want to bring in. If you currently know any, please share a brief list of organizations, communities, groups, and/or individuals in your landscape that your group thinks would be important to include as part of your bioregional conversation in the future, but who maybe you haven't connected with. What voices are missing who you think should be present? Such as first nations, or largest impacters, or some of the coolest people, communities or groups doing the work of regeneration in your landscape.
