Regenerative landscaping is an ecological approach to land management that goes far beyond mere sustainability to restore and improve soil health, enhance biodiversity, and create resilient landscapes that sequester carbon, optimize water flows, and support local wildlife. It makes use of native plants, composting, rainwater harvesting and other methods to heal the land by working with natural processes with a minimum of human intervention. It is also is an creative practice that integrates imagination, local context and physical material to achieve harmonies: of earth and water, plants and sunlight, animals and people. In this session, Erik Ohlsen, renowned certified permaculture designer/practitioner and teacher, author of The Regenerative Landscaper: Design and Build Landscapes That Repair the Environment, will share his insights into how we can reconnect with the nuanced understanding of how natural systems function and the beneficial processes ecosystems provide to humans and begin our own journeys of regeneration. Moderated by Arty Mangan, Director of the Bioneers Restorative Food Systems program.
