"Why Be Unlawnful" Webinar

Past event
Jul 21, 2022, 7 to 8 PM

We're looking forward to the "why be Unlawnful" webinar on Thursday, July 21st at 7pm. We hope you'll join us. :)

This participatory webinar will focus on why to uncolonize and rewild lawns. Lawns are a historical footprint of colonization that continue to reinforce settler colonial ideas of what home/land should look like and what/who should belong. Lawns limit the social and ecological benefits that land can offer us and that we can offer the land. Our imaginations and concepts of beauty have been distorted in order to control land and people.

Come prepared to share your thoughts around the ecological, spiritual and social impact of lawns. Join us to reflect, discuss, and hear more about why to be unlawnful.

FREE for PAN Members. Non-members are invited to make a contribution to support the event or become a member.

UNLAWNFUL CAMPAIGN
Ever wanted to do something unlawnful? We sure do! We are launching a campaign that will culminate in acts of unlawnfulness. We've imposed a human idea of lawns that has smothered Mother Earth and we hope you will join us in unlawning so Mother Earth can breathe again. We are planting the seeds of these ideas in this year-long campaign.

-This summer, we will be discussing why to uncolonize and rewild lawns.
-We will continue through the fall and winter with learning how and what to do to transform a lawn into a healthier ecosystem.
-And then next spring, we'll take action!

Throughout this campaign, we aim to model social diversity as we restore ecological diversity. If you have already rewilded your lawn or a lawn in your community, let us know! We want to highlight the work you have done or will do.
