Those ...City Repair is definitely on to something!<br /><br />Those of us in the Reinhabitation movement (since the early 70s for me) will always cherish the message of how to "live in place" gleaned from Ray Dasmann and Peter Berg (both now gone, alas). Peter and Judy lived in San Francisco and knew how to make that place liveable for human and non-human critters, rather than join the back-to-the-land movement, which inadvertently developed more of the Natural World.<br /><br />Here in Santa Cruz, we can also learn about our various County watersheds, to understand the ecology of this bioregion and, to adapt our human occupation of it, becoming more in tune with its rhythms (the bio-geophysical world). Michael and I do this well at our home and, to some extent, in our neighborhood and the greater community. We are sort of a working duo "small group" of which Margaret Mead eloquently spoke.Jean Brocklebanknoreply@blogger.com
