Bellingham

Regenerate Cascadia and Transition Whatcom invite you to join us for an evening of presentations, and an opportunity to visit regenerative projects throughout Whatcom. The presentation and tours aim to highlight and empower the incredible place-based networks, innovations, and on-the-ground work taking place across watersheds in the Cascadia bioregion, with a focus on Whatcom County, to regenerate damaged ecosystems, protect healthy ecosystems, address climate change, and promote sustainable ways of living, working and learning together that are just and equitable.

Let’s work together for a stronger community!
