From the food we eat to the landscapes we admire, our community relies on nature, and stewarding nature is paramount to our collective future. Explore the concept of regenerative design—which seeks to not only lessen the harm of new development, but approach design and construction as positive forces that repair natural and human systems—with insight from the Lenape community in this online class. Chief Dennis Coker of the Lenape Indian Tribe of Delaware and his colleagues from the University of Delaware discuss their design approaches, cultural connections, and processes related to regenerative design, and how these principles are being integrated in the ongoing Fork Branch Edible Forest Garden and Cultural Center project, located on the current and ancestral home of the Lenape. Learn more about this project and take home tips and techniques that can help inspire you to think differently about regenerating the landscape of your own home and region.
The event includes three-month access to the recording of the presentation.
