Story of Place[edit]
The Story of Place is concept that has evolved within bioregional circles to describe how a range of economic, historical, ecological, social and cultural factors combine to define the unique context of each area of the earth. Discovering and telling the story of place thus becomes a strategic exercise for intervention in social-ecological systems. Helping a community understand and tell its own story of place can be empowering.
