SEEDS Vashon Greenmapping Program
The Social Ecology Education and Demonstration School (SEEDS) began its public phase of the Vashon Greenmapping Program on Saturday, August 23, at the Farmer’s Market on the Village Green. For the next several weeks we will have an interactive display that will explain the concept and goals of greenmapping, and that will invite your participation in nominating current ecological and culturally significant resources on Vashon, as well as green sites or projects you would like to see in the future. Please stop by and help us create a map that encourages an ecologically wise and sustainable future for the Island.
The Vashon Greenmapping Program is designed to create a visual inventory of natural, cultural, and green living resources on Vashon. The program involves creating both a product, an attractive and accessible map, and a dynamic process of generating inclusive community awareness and participation toward a sustainable future. Through the Greenmapping Program SEEDS aims to strengthen local-global sustainability networks, to expand the demand for healthier, greener choices, to stimulate and celebrate ecological citizenship, to provide tools for citizens and planners, and to help successful initiatives spread to more and more communities.
