Lots of learning and inspiration resources have been generously shared by the Bioregional Learning Centre in Devon, including their wonderful **River Dart project** through which the UK's first River Charter was made with the input of over 1,200 local people.
The Bioregional Learning Centre highlight that there is no one way to do bioregioning and it is more an art than a science (though it does make good use of lots of natural science). There is a real focus upon relationship building and nurturing in the context of Earth Crisis, or what founder Isabel Carlisle described as ****‘Gaia on the Move’.
They stress that these bioregioning relationships and capacities are critical for both human adaptation and mitigation as well as increasing landscape scale resilience while loosening political boundaries. Equally, they lift up the role of arts and creative practice as being critical to sensing the bioregion and dreaming within a framework of collective learning. Regenesis call this “co-evolving mutualism”.
