The Northern Rockies Bioneers Conference brings together progressive communities in the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem, provides resources, tools, and inspiration to build a sustainable, culturally-rich, active, and well-networked community. It is one of the largest conference sites outside of California, and certainly one of the most dynamic, drawing more than 1000 visitors and considering a vast array of solutions to local challenges.NRBC encourages the value of networking, self-empowerment of local communities, the gathering and sharing of stories, and the involvement of decision-makers, policy makers, corporate leaders, community leaders, media, teachers, youth, and other community members.As one recent speaker put it: "A local conference helps to strengthen the local and regional communities, by bringing people together who are working on similar issues. There is an intimacy and common purpose, as we focus on our own watersheds, neighborhoods, and bioregion. Participants discover projects and opportunities right in their own backyards that they weren't aware of."
The good news is that for the most part the solutions to our problems are already present. The models percolate up from the deep wisdom of the natural world. Extraordinary human creativity focused on problem solving is exploding the mythology of despair. The bioneers focus equally on the creative social strategies that can help us realize these solutions by restoring community, justice and democracy. Over and over, it's the story of how one individual can make a difference.
