Defining my bioregion as coastal rainforest
The rainforest defines my bioregion. All bioregions are defined by water to a greater or lesser extent, and mine is no exception, though it is different from many others in that it is not based in a water catchment but

Edgeland Chronicles by me (Ed Tyler)
I have published a book about bioregionalism: not an academic thesis but a fictional fantasy set in the mid-21st Century and featuring the people living in the archipelago off the NW coast of Europe, which, in 2023, consists of the

Regenerative Scotland – a bioregional perspective
Ariane Burgess MSP invited me along recently to feature in her podcast series entitled Regenerative Scotland. The resulting podcast is called “Bioregional design” and comes under the theme of “Landscape Scale Land Management”. In it we explore the nature of

New Paradigm – part 3
The third dimension of a new paradigm for the landscapes of the north and west of Scotland is the return of people to the land. Areas like Argyll are currently depopulating, but the tide can turn for our small, scattered

Which way bioregioning?
Recently I read a review by Mike Small about the exchange of letters between the pioneer urban and environmental planner Patrick Geddes, a Scot, and Lewis Mumford, his USA disciple, who went on to set up the Regional Planning Association.

Wheel of Life – Part 3
How to Avoid Breakdown The Wheel of Life seems to turn inexorably, leading to collapse and breakdown, which allows new systems to emerge. But there is a way for a large, complex system to avoid breakdown, and this is where

Fleming then produces a hexagonal diagram that creates an additional two phases: the Release phase is followed by “Break-up”, while exploitation is followed by “Reconnection and Growth”, which then leads into the conservation phase. He defines the period of greatest

All systems go through various phases or stages. I first came across the cycle of exploitation-conservation-release-reorganisation- in the field of ecology where it is known as the cycle of succession), but then came across it again in the work of

Bioregioning card deck
The Bioregional Learning Centre in the South Devon bioregion (based on the Dart river catchment) have come up with this card deck to inspire emergent bioregions. We at Bioregioning CIC are using all of the cards to develop biochar soil

More rewilding, less sitka
The Scottish Government has now recognised that there is a Climate Emergency. One of the ways it says it will respond is by the mass planting of trees. This intention is simplistic and speaks to an unhelpful attitude towards the
