City Repair has helped folks in urban neighborhoods reclaim public spaces with art and celebration. Social Forestry brings human communities back into reciprocity with the natural gifts of forested landscapes. The workshop will begin with an overview of these two philosophies. Then attendees will take part in a lively conversation about how City Repair and Social Forestry can complement each other. Participants will come away with an appreciation of each system, how the two can benefit each other, and how to implement these models in their own communities. This workshop offers a fractal condensed version of Wednesday’s pre-conference.
