This gathering will be an opportunity for women landowners, growers, gardeners, and conservation professionals to connect around their shared interest in land stewardship and learn from one another. It will be a casual lunch potluck hosted by LWV member Karen Lemke, on behalf of Regenerate MKE, which supports networking among permaculture-minded organizations in the Milwaukee Riversheds. Their permaculture principles and ethics focus on: "Fair Share, People Care and Earth Care." Other co-hosts are Wisconsin Women in Conservation, Michael Fields Agriculture Institute and the Milwaukee Urban Ag Network.

Dr. Karen Lemke has been organizing around re-localized food systems since 2009, and is a member of the Design School for Regenerating Earth, hosting conversations about organizing our bioregions and processing collapse-acceptance/grief related to climate change. She conducted research on the power dynamics of who defines what local food is, and advocates for returning to relationship-based food, loving on everyone who helps get fresh food into our bellies.

Please bring a chair and a dish and/or beverage to share, and any questions you may have. Regenerate MKE strives for zero waste event planning!
