Description
Our mission is to make visible all those in Tayside who are already
acting in Bioregional ways and grow people’s capacity for
Bioregioning. We’ll do this through a programme of events and
activities that enable collaboration and the co-creation of solutions
to the climate crisis, biodiversity loss and our broken economic
model.
A Bioregion is a geographic area defined not by political or economic
boundaries but through its natural features – its geology; topography;
climate; soils; hydrology and watersheds; agriculture; biodiversity;
flora and fauna and vegetation.
Bioregioning re-connects people with those natural systems, and each
other, through the places where they live, enabling deeper
understanding of the interdependence between them and human
flourishing.
Bioregioning in action:
Values natural assets as the building blocks of life
Works at the interface between the urban and the rural
Makes a region distinct and visible through a coherent narrative
of geography, geology, land use, history, culture
Reinforces identity through a bounded sense of belonging to a
place
Sources solutions from the place itself
Gets sectors out of silos and collaborating on a co-created
resilience strategy
Prototypes and learns continuously
Addresses conflicts as an opportunity to take the work to the next
level
Builds collective will to action and telling a ‘can do’ story of
resilience and possibility
