Project Update - volunteers needed!

The rubber is hitting the road, and the "Cascadia Guidebook Project" is moving closer to being an official non-profit, with hopes of drawing in both financial and volunteer support.

Perhaps the biggest news is that the project is now going to be focused on the creation of a website. This has been in the plans all along, but originally it was to come after the preliminary guidebook hit circulation. After much thought and discussion, it has been decided that the only logical way to go about gaining the needed input and info for the project (and considering the technological tools at our disposal), will be to have a website that will include both an interactive mapping system and a community forum at each level of scale of the bioregion.

So, indeed the need for place based stories, descriptions and submissions is as relevant now as before. The difference being, that when the website comes online, anyone and everyone will have the chance to add to the evolving descriptions of places within the bioregion and the identification of community assets that will set those communities on the road to sustainability and self-reliance. In the meantime, if anyone so desire to send in said stories and submissions, feel free. They will still be considered in their entirety for the eventual guidebook, and will be considered for use in part of the evolving descriptions on the website.

Also, we are currently seeking anyone who has experience with website design and graphic design, is a web host, or has other applicable website building skills that would like to become involved with the project - please get in touch!
