Day 1 Visioning: Christine by Melissa Bade https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2 What does the future of this forest look like for you, if anything/everything is possible? en-us 2022-01-11 20:08:39 UTC 2022-01-14 15:50:35 UTC hello@padlet.com Eastern Wildway map could be implemented, bold and defensible vision https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992502673 2022-01-14 15:19:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992502673 greater flow of connectivity in the social and regulatory realm. Systems we can provide for people to work across boundaries, significant reduction in bureaucracy; greater education system approach to bioregional relationship. https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992504772 2022-01-14 15:20:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992504772 break down conceptual boundaries for next generation- need broader framework in Language, at grassroots level, exchanges, not relying on existing system https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992506396 2022-01-14 15:21:28 UTC https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992506396 Overview from Blue Ridge region: land trust community doing some of the best work in region; we have a lot of public lands and managers at agencies are pretty friendly, but USFS is the hardest to deal with, 45 % of OG is on National forest lands. https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992509584 2022-01-14 15:23:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992509584 https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992512649 A community where every single person in our region understands what wood is, where wood comes from, and how important it is- for ecosystems, for human communities in ecosystems, for climate. ]]> 2022-01-14 15:24:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992512649 Much more contiguous forest that is or can become old growth; more collaboration among conservationists and indigenous peoples (and taking the time for building such relationships); policy that doesn't only privilege forest management and/or reform of current forest mgt practices towards more resilience and biodiversity values. https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992513938 2022-01-14 15:25:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992513938 Youth eduction in Canada, mirroring comments about next gen; stronger integration of ecological and social values into education systems, to bring young people out into Natural systems. Dream to have more kids experience nature directly.. more widespread in our educational system. Not just future but now. https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992514427 2022-01-14 15:25:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992514427 https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992514537 UN Restoration Decade - Vision for restoration in this forest region? How to reconcile w human pressures across different tenures]]> 2022-01-14 15:25:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992514537 Along with protecting much more Forever Wild forest and allowing much of our region to return to old-growth forest condition, we should welcome home missing species, including Puma and Wolf. We should also better protect and restore aquatic ecosystems, sometimes by removing derelict dams. https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992515473 2022-01-14 15:26:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992515473 Do we have good data about climate, human population moving into or being born in teh region, what resources will people need and is it easy to have access to that data? https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992515873 2022-01-14 15:26:15 UTC https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992515873 Question: for Canadian friends- to what extent do Canadian provinces in the region feel connected with others, e.g. in US, and to what extent disconnected?- Reply : varies, with provincial governments, CPAWS And others try speeding on capacity and regional govt. election changes every few years. https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992522357 2022-01-14 15:29:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992522357 These sessions are not in French but many partners are in Canada... https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992523683 2022-01-14 15:30:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992523683 I would like to see the ecological, cultural, and social values of this ecoregion be better reflected in our education system. And see youth getting into nature to experience its beauty first hand, and learn directly from the land https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992523965 2022-01-14 15:30:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992523965 How do we address high demand for lumber, for housing which is very reliant on lumber- what will happen to housing opportunities /sector for housing. Price of lumber is cheaper than alternatives in many places, even with lumber skyrocketing. What will housing market be for future generations? Some indigenous communities are switching to other materials, to reduce tree harvest, but will be hard for next generations to reduce prices on ICF etc. https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992529330 2022-01-14 15:33:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992529330 Housing is a major issue in the Adirondack as well. Sustainable communities must be able to provide housing at all economic levels. For example, this is critical if we are going to address youth out-migration - if we don't have solutions for housing, creating entry level jobs for the next generation is not going to be effective. https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992530725 2022-01-14 15:33:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992530725 need a community perspective. It is much more that protecting the forest, but we need to think about those who live in the area, and work in natural resources https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992531452 2022-01-14 15:34:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992531452 Vision: lot more OG across the region. https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992535557 2022-01-14 15:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992535557 building up sustainable jobs and building capacity for these new fields of work https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992541014 2022-01-14 15:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992541014 So many lay people take ing about trees and forests- how we capture this moment to maximum advantage for forests https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992542594 2022-01-14 15:40:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992542594 If I could snap my finger what would future forests be? focus on community of people and articulate importance of wood to them,we have amazing forest- so resilient! And get people to think of themselves as part of the ecosystem; also how do we improve how to utilize wood in better ways along with having OG forest. Mosaic, thoughtfully managed for the future. https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992547825 2022-01-14 15:43:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992547825 As we outsource, lets rethink. https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992549588 2022-01-14 15:44:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992549588 Wildlands AND Woodlands https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992551066 2022-01-14 15:44:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992551066 challenge to solve the conflicting views between preservationists and conservationists so need strategic approach to outreach to better understand how we can have working forest and OG both https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992553135 2022-01-14 15:45:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992553135 Live in harmony with nature- this does not mean human being removed from nature, but living in a way that humans and biodiversity can both sustainably benefit from each other https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992553992 2022-01-14 15:46:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992553992 reintegrate with ecoregion and place by engaging with indigenous models and ways; re-cog-nize those relationships that people who have live don the land have had for 1000s of years; https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992561347 2022-01-14 15:50:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mbade3/9lg35w2nunog8fi2/wish/1992561347
