Revitalizing the Inland Northwest

Written by E. Philip Small on January 30, 2011

Recently I had the opportunity to watch a clip of Storm Cunningham’s stirring presentation to the TEDxMidAtlantic 2010 conference. He speaks to the economic dynamo that builds when communities revitalize their resources. Storm Cunningham terms it the restoration economy, and the scope is awesome; natural and cultural resources, urban and rural. I see renewal in terms of soils, and the role I can play, and I get excited. At its core, this is what my work is about.
