The Ecosystem Guild/Community Steward

From Salish Sea Wiki



The Community Steward system is one third of the ingredients necessary for The Ecosystem Guild to form the Skykomish Bio-Cultural Restoration Field Station. The Community Stewards attend to communications and relationship building among the hosts (land managers), institutional sponsors and participants. This pattern is Non-Institutional in that it is designed to build Coordination capabilities among networks of private citizens to empower Advocacy for Biocultural Restoration in Riparian Buffers. This page describes the infrastructures and protocols used by the system. These infrastructures and protocols are a key part of The Ecosystem Guild system, that aims to rebuild community-managed Commons, in Washington State and beyond, by maximizing interoperability across private and public spheres.
