Sunrise over the Nooksack this morning. Moments like these remind me why we do this work. Every stream we restore, every riparian buffer we plant, every water sample we collect is an act of love for the watershed that sustains us.

Has anyone tried integrating mushroom cultivation into their food forest design? I am interested in growing shiitake and oyster mushrooms on logs within our urban food forest at City Roots. Looking for advice from experienced growers in the bioregion.

Solidarity Cascadia is organizing a tool-sharing network across Portland neighborhoods. If you have tools sitting in your garage that others could use, or if you need to borrow something, check our new mutual aid board. Sharing is the heart of regenerative economics.

Look at these beautiful heirloom tomato starts from our seed library! These varieties have been selected over five years by growers in the Willamette Valley. Food sovereignty starts with seeds adapted to our bioregion.

Does anyone have experience setting up a tool lending library? City Roots Collective wants to start one for our neighborhood but we need advice on inventory management and liability. Would love to connect with others who have done this.

Exciting news from the Cascadia Commons Land Trust -- we just closed on a new 5-acre parcel that will become community garden space. This would not have been possible without the mutual aid contributions from across our bioregional network. Thank you all!
