David Haenke

A major evolution in the bioregional movement can be attributed to the organizing skills of homesteader and appropriate technology activist David Haenke, He published Ecological Politics and Bioregionalism, describing regenerative agriculture, appropriate technology, renewable energy sources, cooperative economics, land trusts, ecologically-based health policy.  David is co-founder of the first bioregional congress – still going strong 28 years later, providing a template for others.  His focus is on the politicization and institutionalization of bioregionalism and he remains dedicated to ecological economics, and and planet Earth.  David Haenke is the Johnny Appleseed of the bio-regional movement.  Check out some of David’s writings at: www.nrec.org/haenke
