LHC First Content Session: How the Land Organizes Us
In our first content delivery session, two of our program administrators Clare and Brandon present on how the Land Organizes Us, as well as helping dive in further into the nuts and bolts of what the Landscape Hub Cultivator is, this occurred on November 14, 2025.
Process
The Classroom sessions provide time for Landscape Stewards to receive support and coaching. Landscape Hub Cultivator is creating the conditions for the emergence of Cascadia Landscape Hubs.
The longer-term vision of a Landscape Hub is to develop and maintain a regenerative project portfolio, local regeneration strategy, action plan, and budget—whilst ensuring that relationship, learning and land attunement inform the work. This requires a focus on stewardship that includes relational weaving and community cultural development—elements not typically named, highlighted or funded in the existing system.
Landscape Hub Cultivator (LHC)
Through urgency, we ask the Stewards to slow down to speed up… slow down to BE the work, not just do the work. Trust is the foundation of this work! Trust takes time. Trust develops and deepens through co-journeying together, including working through tension/rupture. At this stage the LHC pilot is about coordination, not governance (further down the track).
Right relationship: A core capacity is the ability to hold relationships through the journey. Process is as important as outcomes. This is about cross-watershed learning and coordination, as much as it is about any one of our landscapes. Relationality, communication and sharing our work with each other. The LHC is our MVP for what we think is necessary to test at this stage to build solid foundations for the emergence of Landscape Hubs.
