[Paul Cereghino]

Hello colleagues,

My name is Paul and I live on the edge of Schneider Creek, on Budd Inlet in South Puget Sound in the City of Olympia in the Woodard Lane Co-housing community. I work as a professional ecologist for the federal government, from a background in private landscape construction, agroforestry, and environmental education.
I curate the Salish Sea Restoration Restoration Platform, a bioregional prototype for social-ecological system and knowledge mapping with the Society for Ecological Restoration – https://salishsearestoration.org/

I do bioregional cartography which I make available through an at-cost print-on-demand website called https://watershedmaps.com

I also do community development to support the long-term stewardship of riverscapes through a concept called The Ecosystem Guild, whereby we train and support people to access, camp on, and restore ecologically valuable common lands in the Salish Sea, starting with a field station in the Skykomish Valley, in collaboration with Snohomish Conservation District and The Tulalip Tribes. This work is focused on redeveloping viable strategies for regenerative riverscape agroforestry https://ecosystemguild.org
