Whatcom Watch cover story by David MacLeod, a lifelong Whatcom County resident who co-founded Transition Whatcom and is now a core organizer with Regenerate Whatcom, one of Regenerate Cascadia's landscape groups. MacLeod draws on Donella Meadows' systems thinking to make the case for bioregional regeneration at the local scale. The article introduces readers to Regenerate Whatcom's formation, its connection to the broader bioregional movement through Regenerate Cascadia and the Design School for Regenerating Earth, and the practical work of organizing neighbors around watershed restoration, permaculture, local food systems, and community resilience in Whatcom County.
