SUMMARY:Regenerative Water By Design
DESCRIPTION:(Whatcom Water Week) September 14\, 2025 from 3pm to 6pm\n\nRegenerative by Design: How Water\, Soil\, and Carbon Cycles Shape Our Hope for the Future This is the 2nd event in the Regenerate Whatcom series\, “Walking Whatcom Waters.” Step into the living Water integrated landscape designed at Inspiration Farm. \nJoin Brian Kerkvliet\, regenerative farmer\, educator\, and co-steward of this permaculture demonstration site\, for a grounded conversation at the intersection of land use\, water\, carbon sink\, food and social systems that lead to climate resilience. Learn how we can design a water integrated landscape all over Whatcom county and beyond. \nThrough the lens of permaculture\, we will explore how intentional design can restore balance to the water\, carbon and nitrogen cycles\, while producing nutritious food\, capturing and storing energy\, and building long-term ecological and community health. This session will take place on-site at Inspiration farm and include dialogue\, demonstration\, and a systems-level perspective on how to meet this moment with regeneration rather than extraction. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBrian Kerkvliet is a permaculture practitioner and regenerative land steward with over 25 years of experience designing and managing resilient food systems. At Inspiration Farm—a working homestead and teaching site in Bellingham\, WA—Brian applies whole-systems thinking to everything from soil health and water catchment to perennial polycultures and appropriate technology. He consults widely on regenerative agriculture and permaculture design\, helping landowners and communities reimagine waste\, inputs\, and abundance through nature’s cycles. Brian’s work invites us to rethink our role\, from consumers to stewards\, at a time when such a shift has never been more urgent. \nThis is a Regenerate Whatcom event\, in association with The Whatcom Watersheds Information Network (WWIN)\, as part of Whatcom Water Week.  See more Whatcom Water Week events here.
