Join Whole Systems Design's exploration of a land use for the long haul. This presentation and gallery offers a view of and opportunity to dialogue around the work involved in regenerating Vermont's landscape of abuse and abandonment. The gallery highlights leading-edge strategies toward localizing and solarizing our most basic resource systems such as food and fuel, to be more productive and resilient as we enter an age of peak oil, rapid climate change and economic collapse.

Whole Systems Design's work focuses on the recolonization of rural landscapes from hillsides to former town commons in the transition from a fossil-fuel, import-based economy-culture to a renewable and place-based economy-culture.
