Healing the Land Our new partner at CleanTech Collective, Ines Piccinino, just finished moderating a panel discussion at BC Natural Resources Forum on Healing the Land: A Vision for Progressive Practices and Land Legacy. The panel featured Kim Williams, Katherine Wolfenden and Lori Halls. It was great to hear anecdotes from the panel about their experiences in leading their organizations to address unfinished work from the past and new approaches to doing work on the land the right way from the start. And Richard Wong, P.Eng.'s closing limerick has set a new standard for sponsor messages!
