Soon, I will be arriving in Seattle Washington. Although my stay is short, I'm meeting with Vashon Island Green Mapmakers, Beverly Nadius and Angela Rueber at 2 on Monday March 14. Ideally, there will be a chance to meet with potential project leaders in Seattle as well catch up on recent regional progress.

Next stop, Victoria BC. From the 15th to the 19th, I'll be working with long-time colleagues Maeve Lydon and Ken Josephson of University of Victoria. The school is hosting an exciting series of community mapping events, as noted in the attached discussion paper.

I am looking forward to seeing many old friends (and new ones, too!) thanks to our colleagues at the illustrious Office of Community Based Research at UVic, who sponsored this trip, and the larger Common Ground Mapping project and network partners, as seen at mapping.uvic.ca.

Before I depart, I have the honor of being the keynote speaker at the Tenth Annual Nature, Ecology & Society Colloquium, addressing grad students on the Culture of Climate Change. Find more NYC events here. All a great way to start the new season!

Now that I am back, I will add and link to photos by Wendy Anthony and Ken Josephson from Seattle and Victoria, respectively:
