Amidst global climate change, problems are often viewed at a national or global scale. However, large environmental problems may make sustained engagement difficult. When thinking at such a large scale, people may feel disconnected or helpless.

We have a growing interest in sustained relationships with particular places, and remain curious about how local relationships may become the starting point for longer-term ecological and cultural work.
