Rooted In Nature wins NARC Major Metro Award

The National Association of Regional Councils (NARC) awarded MAPC for our “Rooted in Nature: Indigenous Knowledge and Climate Resiliency” online speaker series.  

The “Major Metro Award” recognizes excellence in programs and services of regional councils and metropolitan planning organizations across the country, and Rooted in Nature was one of 10 selected.

Rooted in Nature was a five-part web series that I created and ran from September through November 2023 and showcased experts from indigenous communities in Massachusetts. The series offered an exploration of Indigenous perspectives on climate resilience and sustainability, spotlighting practical examples and case studies rooted in the local context of the state. The series attracted 900+ participants from 146 cities and towns in the Commonwealth, 31 total states, and six countries; it is available in full on our website and YouTube channel.
